Title
An architecture for the implementation of mesh networks in OMNeT++
Abstract
This paper describes the implementation in OMNeT++ of a versatile protocol architecture for the simulation of 802.11 Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). The developed modules enable the routing at the 802.11 MAC layer as well as a packet forwarding technique based on label paths. The performance of the new architecture is compared with that of a typical IP OLSR ad hoc network proving that link layer routing (IP) can be completely substituted by the developed modules.
