Network Emulation Testbed Capabilities for Prototyping Space DTN Software and Protocols
Résumé
This paper delves into network emulation tools essential for evaluating and designing Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocols in space and satellite networking. It surveys and assesses the capability of current testbeds to create realistic test environments crucial for developing and evaluating DTN protocols. Specifically, this study provides a comprehensive overview of key DTN protocol stacks and related network emulation platforms and a detailed exploration of NASA's research facilities. Finally, the paper underscores the fundamental emulation capabilities and the importance of a standardized framework for scenario creation, highlighting its vital role in evaluating and advancing future emulation platforms for space DTN.
