+The PingPong binary {{{pingpong}}} is installed in {{{build/bin}}}. It has one parameter, a configuration file. You can find sample configuration files in the {{{etc/pingpongconfig}}} folder. Three configuration files are provided. You can start the initiator as follows:
+
+{{{
+> ./pingpong ../../etc/pingpongconfig/settings_initiator.cnf
+}}}
+
+If this will fail to find the {{{libariba}} you may have to set the {{{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} correct:
+{{{
+> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/user/ariba/build/lib
+}}}
+
+When running the {{{pingpong}}} application it will output a large number of log messages and the initiator will wait for other nodes to join. YOu can start them using the configuration files {{{settings_node1}}} and {{{settings_node2}}}. You may need to adjust the configurations files. Currently both node1 and node2 try to join the initiator on the local machine. This will only work if you start all instances on a local machine.
+
+The following configuration entries are of interest:
+
+ * {{{GENERAL_Initiator}}} - this tells the pingpong application whether to create or join a spovnet - sample value: {{{true}}} or {{{false}}}
+ * {{{BASE_nodeid}}} - the nodeid that the node will have. If this entry is not present, the node will choose a random nodeid - sample value: {{{3}}}
+ * {{{BASE_bootstrapIP}}} - that IP and port of the initiator so the node can start the join process -  sample value: {{{127.0.0.1:5002}}}
+ * {{{BASE_port}}} - the local port the node should bind on. If this entry is not present, the node will bind on a default Ariba port -  sample value: {{{5010}}}
+
+Once the PingPong sample is running and the nodes have connected, the initiator will send ping messages to the joined nodes every 2 seconds. You can now e.g. test mobility of Ariba and change the IP address of a node, or swith from LAN connection to WLAN. The Links established by the PingPong sample through Ariba are mobility invariant and automatically repaired.

+Compiling Ariba for simulations will result in {{{libariba}}} and {{{libpingpong}}} being placed into the {{{build/lib}}} folder. You can find exemplary simulation files in the {{{etc/simulation/omnet3}}} folder of the Ariba distribution. 
+
+You have to adjust some path in the {{{omnetpp.ini}}} file. Fix the path in {{{preload-ned-files}}}. The load-libs path should be correct, in case you did not change the Ariba package.
+
+Next, start the {{{INET}}} binary in the {{{etc/simulation/omnet3}}}. This will start up the simulation that contains 3 router and 15 nodes that have Ariba nodes with the PingPong application on it.
