Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive networking (AN) focuses on creating a logical and extendible framework for a multiyear effort in AN research. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) designed an experiment to identify which communications protocol's parameters were more likely to have a relevant effect on network congestion. The software, called experiment control software (exp_driver), was developed to automatically execute the experimental design to test the protocol's parameters. Prior to the exp_driver existence, the experimental design for similar tests was executed with frequent operator intervention, requiring extra time for set up, and introducing human errors. This report provides a description of the exp_driver configuration for others who want to implement this software.
