实验是对无线网络协议进行实际评估的必要步骤。评估方法需要可控的环境条件和严格有效的实验控制和各种场景的编排。现有的实验控制工具，如OMF，在资源管理方面往往缺乏效率，并且依赖于隐藏无线设置细节的抽象。在本文中，我们提出了nepi-ng，这是一种有效的实验控制工具，它利用面向任务的编程模型和使用asyncio的并行程序的高效单线程执行。Nepi-ng为网络实验提供了一种高效、模块化的细粒度同步机制。我们展示并讨论了我们的设计选择，并与最先进的工具（主要是OMF）进行了比较。
Experimentation is an essential step for realistic evaluation of wireless network protocols. The evaluation methodology entails controllable environment conditions and a rigorous and efficient experiment control and orchestration for a variety of scenarios. Existing experiment control tools such as OMF often lack in efficiency in terms of resource management and rely on abstractions that hide the details about the wireless set-up. In this paper, we propose nepi-ng, an efficient experiment control tool that leverages job oriented programming model and efficient single-thread execution of parallel programs using asyncio. nepi-ng provides an efficient and modular fine grain synchronization mechanism for networking experiments with light software dependency footprint. We present and discuss our design choices and compare to the state of the art tools, mainly OMF.
