dc.description.abstract | In this paper we discuss the MANIAC Challenge,
a cooperative and competitive approach to MANET networking
research. Our goal was to create an opportunity for researchers
to come together and compete in a MANET-based competition
where points were awarded for received traffic and deducted
for use of node resources, including packet forwarding. Using
software we created, each team built a participation strategy
that allowed them to decide how much they would participate in
forwarding traffic for other nodes. This exercise turned out to be
a resounding success and a wealth of data was gathered about
traffic patterns, network behavior, node behavior, and the impact
of node participation strategies on the MANET. The major
observations of this work are that location and hardware can
affect node performance, node participation can affect the larger
network in some circumstances, and node mobility patterns can
vary based on the goal of the node. | en |
