移动的Ad-Hoc网络（MANET）已经成为一个越来越活跃的研究领域，在ad-hoc路由，媒体接入，和协议等工作过多，但是，到目前为止，大部分的努力一直在模拟只有少数系统，曾经实现过，没有一个，我们知道已经尝试了超过十几个节点的规模。原因之一是实现和测试实际ad-hoc网络的复杂性很高，而且缺乏软件工具。因此，我们建立了一个廉价和灵活的环境，以支持这些任务，并促进网络研究。核心组件是一个移动性仿真器，用于测试几乎任何规模的ad-hoc网络和任何移动性场景，而无需实际移动节点。
Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) has become an increasingly active research area with a plethora of work in ad-hoc routing, media access, and protocols, etc. However, much of the effort so far has been in simulation with only a few systems that have ever been implemented and none that we know have been tried in a scale beyond a dozen nodes. One reason is the high complexity involved in implementing and testing actual ad-hoc networks, and the lack of software tools for doing so. We have thus built an inexpensive and flexible environment to support such tasks and to facilitate network research. The core component is a mobility emulator to test an ad-hoc network of virtually any scale and with any mobility scenario without actually moving the nodes physically.
