Abstract
Mesh technology presents a great deviation in the field of wireless networks thanks to its assets brought in the level of mobility, the quality of services and distribution of radios resources. Due to its importance, a working group was formed in IEEE organization in order to work out a standard for the Mesh networks under the reference IEEE 802.11s. Consequently, a whole of tasks remain in the course of research such as security. That allows the appearance of several solutions and protocols suggested by the researchers’ community in the literature. However, the existing simulators do not contain yet complete modules which allow studying this network. To remedy these problems, we thought of developing an environment of simulation for the evaluation of the authentication protocols for the IEEE 802.11s networks. This tool allows the easy development and the integration of new modules and thereafter its performances evaluation by providing appropriate measurements.
