The ECMM Testing Ground

This network include all the necessary modules to create a simulation scenario, inlcuding the CMM, HCMM and ECMM models. The hosts regarded are simple MANET hosts with mobility defined by the omnetpp.ini file, which in this case in the CommunityMov. The DTApp is used to generate the network traffic, while the tracefile required is generated by the socMovGen module.
