Abstract:

As (network) software is such an omnipresent component of contemporary mission- critical systems, formal analysis is required to provide the necessary certification or at least assurance for these systems’ properties. In this paper we focus on modelling and analysing a distributed, proactive routing protocol named Optimised Link State Routing (OLSR), recognised as the standard ad-hoc routing protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). WMNs are instrumental in critical systems, such as emergency response networks and smart electrical grids. We employ Uppaal model checking for analysing safety properties of OLSR as well as to point out a case of OLSR malfunctioning.
