Abstract :
In this paper we present a research testbed being developed at K.U.Leuven, Belgium, aiming at providing a flexible and convenient testing infrastructure for researchers working on mobility issues over IP networks. The testbed is built on general-purpose PCs, which makes it suitable for most laboratories. Its user-level modularity makes it easy for both developers and users to configure and extend even for unusual mobility scenarios and new mobility techniques. Movement is realized in a way that makes mobility experiment easy to be carried out and automated
