Demo: MeshSim: A Wireless Ad-Hoc Network Development Platform.

MeshSim is a platform for developing wireless ad-hoc network communication protocols. It supports two operation modes: Firstly, simulated mode, in which all nodes of the network run as processes in a given machine with arbitrary configuration parameters. Secondly, device mode, in which the code is deployed to individual devices with their own radios. The main feature of MeshSim is that the code that runs in simulated mode is the same code that runs on device mode. This is achieved via network interface abstraction. It allows the design, development and test of ad-hoc network protocols while isolating external variables (simulated mode), that can be later deployed and tested on real devices (device mode).
