Prototype Components

These components are what built to produce a viable prototype for Mobility First. They are proof-of-concept versions of expected functional units.

GNRS Server

The GNRS server is the workhorse of the GNRS project. It is responsible for requesting, inserting, and potentially caching GUID->NA mappings within the GNRS system.

Evaluation Components

These software components are research/evaluation tools used primarily to explore, analyze, record, or manipulate the performance of the prototype components.

Clients

The Gbench (GNRS Benchmark Tool) utility is used for producing insert/request messages and handling their responses. Gbench is capable of simulating multiple clients in parallel, and is driven either by a set of one or more traces, or by configuration parameters.

Delay Module

The delay module is part of the network emulation framework. It is responsible for emulating the network-induced delay experienced by packets as they travel across a testbed overlay network. Since most of the testbed networks are LANs, having very low latency, it is necessary to introduce artificial delays to simulate long-distance links. The Delay Module is responsible for this task.
