Implementations based on Open Source Software of these networks offer advantages for providing broadband networking communications in scenarios where cabling is too expensive or prohibitive such as rural environments. In this paper we evaluate the performance of small scale wireless mesh WMN routing protocols for WMNs: B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced and the 802.11s standard. We also compare an OpenFlow controller implemented over the WMN, verifying their bandwidth, datagram loss and jitter. }, keywords = {network performance, Open Source Software for research and innovation, OpenFlow, OpenWRT, Wireless Mesh Networks}, isbn = {978-3-642-55127-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_14}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_14}, author = {Armuelles Voinov, Iv{\'a}n and Cede{\~n}o, AidelenChung and Chung, Joaqu{\'\i}n and Gonz{\'a}lez, Grace}, editor = {Corral, Luis and Sillitti, Alberto and Succi, Giancarlo and Vlasenko, Jelena and Wasserman, AnthonyI.} } @inbook {1604, title = {Use of Open Software Tools for Data Offloading Techniques Analysis on Mobile Networks}, booktitle = {Open Source Software: Mobile Open Source Technologies}, series = {IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology}, volume = {427}, year = {2014}, pages = {111-112}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, organization = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, abstract = { This research aims to highlight the benefits of using free software based tools for studying a LTE mobile network with realistic parameters. We will overload this LTE network and offload it through data offloading techniques such as small cells and WiFi offload. For this research, discreteevent open software network simulator ns3 will be implemented. Ns3 is a network simulator based on the programming language C++, and has all the necessary libraries to simulate an LTE and WiFi network. }, keywords = {Data Offloading, LTE, ns3, OSS for research and education, small cells, WiFi}, isbn = {978-3-642-55127-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_15}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_15}, author = {Koo, Jos{\'e}M. and Espino, JuanP. and Armuelles, Iv{\'a}n and Villarreal, Rub{\'e}n}, editor = {Corral, Luis and Sillitti, Alberto and Succi, Giancarlo and Vlasenko, Jelena and Wasserman, AnthonyI.} }
