SNIF: A Comprehensive Tool for Passive Inspection of Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deployment of sensor networks in real-world settings is a laborintensive and cumbersome task: environmental influences often trigger problems that are difficult to track down due to limited visibility of the network state. In this extended abstract, we summarize our ongoing efforts to develop a tool for passive inspection of sensor networks, where the network state can be inferred without instrumentation of sensor nodes. We also discuss next steps to make this tool applicable to a larger class of applications.

Demo Abstract: Passive Inspection of Deployed Sensor Networks with SNIF
We demonstrate a tool that allows inspection and debugging of deployed wireless sensor networks (WSN) by analyzing overheard radio messages. This tool can identify common problems such as node crashes, reboots, routing problems, and network partitions without instrumentation of sensor nodes. Existing approaches to identify performance problems and bugs in deployed WSN such as Sympathy [5] requi...
متن کاملPassive and Active Inspection of Wireless Sensor Networks: A practical Use Evaluation
Sensor nodes are small, autonomous, battery-powered devices that use a wireless network interface to communicate with other sensor nodes. Together these sensor nodes form a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), which has the purpose to sense information about the environment. Before a WSN is deployed, it is tested using simulators and testbeds. Both simulators and testbeds are not able to fully captur...
متن کاملA Novel Comprehensive Taxonomy of Intelligent-Based Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks
Routing in ad-hoc networks, specifically intelligent-based ones, is a highly interested research topic in recent years. Most of them are simulation-based study. Large percentages have not even mentioned some of the fundamental parameters. This strictly reduces their validity and reliability. On the other hand, there is not a comprehensive framework to classify routing algorithms in wireless sen...
متن کاملSNIF: Sensor Network Inspection Framework
Recent experience with the deployment of sensor networks demonstrates that it is far from trivial to setup a working larger-scale sensor network in the field. Even though simulations and experiments with lab testbeds confirmed a working system, subtle real-world influences lead to frequent failures in the field. Identifying and fixing these problems in the field is currently a difficult and cum...
متن کاملPassive Distributed Assertions for Sensor Networks
When deployed in a real-world setting, many sensor networks fail to meet application requirements even though they have been tested in the lab prior to deployment. Hence, concepts and tools for inspection are needed to identify failure causes in situ on the deployment site. Tools for inspection should minimize the interference with the sensor network to, firstly, ensure that failures of the sen...
