Deep-space Network Emulation
The network emulation testbed currently in use in the OCP project is
built around the
netem work,
which is similar to the
NIST Net project.
The netem software allows us to add delay, jitter, and error rates to
a given link; this is essential for emulating a deep-space link. The
project has also written a tool to emulate errors on a deep-space link
with coding enabled, using a Markov model to represent the error
probabilities for thermal and burst noise.
Details and source code will be posted soon on the emulation tools.
