Spanning Data Across Heterogeneous MANETs through Proactive Strip Interoperability

The topic of spanning data across different wireless ad hoc networks using distinct routing protocols is still an ongoing effort. Numerous applications can be derived if this is possible. From wireless mesh networks, wireless sensor networks and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), can benefit greatly from adjacent or passing through mobile networks. In this line of thought, we propose the use of a proactive approach for the Strip Interoperability mechanism, which has proven to bridge heterogeneous networks using only layer 3 protocols. Moreover, new scenarios, scale and stress the mechanism to a considerable number of nodes through the use of Dockemu, a novel tool for network emulation. Dockemu is partially composed of Linux Containers and NS-3, allowing the flexibility of utilizing real world OSs at a greater scale.
