Welcome!


WHYNET is a hybrid wireless testbed environment aimed at realistic, scalable and flexible evaluation of next-generation wireless communication technologies and applications. To meet the diverse experimentation needs of wireless network research, WHYNET provides a wide range of experimentation modes aided by its unique capability to seamlessly integrate physical, simulation and emulated components. Beyond the traditional methods of physical experimentation and simulation, WHYNET framework supports several hybrid modes of experimentation (including emulation) that use physical and simulated elements (e.g., protocol layers, subnets) in different combinations. The high degree of flexibility in the choice of experimentation mode with WHYNET permits the user in making an appropriate tradeoff between realism, experimental control, scalability and cost depending on the evaluation requirements and available testbed resources.
