Abstract

This paper presents RRNAPI, a toolkit for accessing network performance in Ricochet Radio Networks. It is envisioned that these tools are a necessary stepping stone in developing frameworks for distributed computing in wireless networks, in particular, extending Collaborative Computing Frameworks (CCF). Many forms of traditional distributed computing require a reliable network, however these programs do not extend to wireless networks because reliable connectivity is not generally possible with wireless networks. This paper explains connectivity issues in Ricochet Networks, presents practical solutions to these problems, and explains a toolkit that can be used when developing distributed applications to address these problems.
