Abstract :
WHYNET is a multiinstitutional effort to build an interconnected test bed of wireless networks for use by the academic community. The project connects experimental networks at schools via the Internet, allowing researchers test new components on the entire system as they create and evaluate new technologies from the radio layer to protocol stacks. WHYNET uses devices and systems developed by participating researchers in conjunction with off-the-shelf components.
