Testbed for Ad-Hoc Protocol Evaluation (TAPE) README
====================================================
Testbed for Ad Hoc Protocol Evaluation (TAPE) is a network emulator that capable
of running several ad-hoc protocols for testing and evaluation. This project
provides support for various ad hoc and mesh routing protocols, running on recent
Linux 2.6.x kernels. It is an enhancement of the original APE-Testbed project.
The TAPE project raise from the need of network emulator that capable to run in
and emulating mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) environment and can support latest
everyday hardware such as laptop or computer that have wireless or wire
capabilities. The project, like its predecessor APE-Testbed, it is a work in
progress. Therefore some things may work better than others and the documentation
may be lacking in some areas.
