Abstract

The method of emulation is an attractive approach in order to evaluate the performance of communication networks. Compared to simulation, it is especially beneficial when real-world components, e.g., applications or protocols should be included. In this paper, we present the new emulation environment IKREmuLib, which allows for a seamless integration of both the emulation and the simulation domain by exploiting the same system model implementation. By doing so, we avoid the disadvantages of either approach while combining the benefits of both.
