SDP Primary Implementation in Microsoft® VisualC++®, A Service Distribution Protocol for MANETs

It was required to build a simulation tool that enable the founders of SDP to estimate their early proposals about service replication in MANETs. Avoiding the complications of building a set of network layers, components, and architectures was highly required. Since, one of the most important SDP advantages is being an architecture independent protocol, it assumes that -for example- the presence of any specified network architectures or components are not a big deal. So, at the beginning of the research effort of estimating the feasibility of SDP, two SDP simulation tools have been introduced. These tools have been built in Microsoft® VisualC++®. 

The proposed SDP simulations tools are supposed to give simulations for the performance in the best operation cases. In this tool, a suitable and efficient routing, transportation and scheduling network components have been assumed. The two proposed simulation tools are oriented to answer more the questions of when and where to allocate replicas and how these replicas are allowed to continue active than to answer the questions of how to perform the replication itself. So, both assume the presence of a routine that takes care about the required operations for the service synchronization. Both of the delivered SDP simulation tools cannot model the behavior of the deployed services. So, they assume that the response will be sent to the requester clients once the request reaches the provider side.
