About

The DES-SERT Extra library (libdessert-extra) contains several sys, mesh, and CLI callback functions that may be used in any DES-SERT based daemon. The source code was part of libdessert but moved to this library so that the libdessert API and ABI can be kept stable.

DES-SERT Extra also serves as example for developers how you can accomplish important tasks with simple callbacks.

DES-SERT

DES-SERT, the DES Simple and Extensible Routing-Framework for Testbeds, is a framework designed to assist researchers in the implementation of routing protocols for testbeds.

DES-SERT enables the implementation of routing protocols on top of Ethernet via an underlay (Layer 2.5) in user space; this also includes IEEE 802.11 on the data link layer. It introduces an abstraction from OS specific issues and provides functionality and data structures to implement proactive, reactive, and hybrid routing protocols.

While generally usable in many application scenarios, it is primarily used in DES-Mesh (http://www.des-testbed.net/), the multi-transceiver wireless mesh network testbed part of the DES-Testbed at Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany.

Content of the Documentation

The DES-SERT Extra documentation is split in three parts:

The Manual section provides sub-categories that discuss particular topics and present corresponding callbacks in the library:

The Callbacks section is divided in three sub-categories and provides the API documentation:
