Subject: [MANET] How to emulate encryption time

Hi All,

I'm making a simulator for testing the performance of SAODV.  Since the encryption/decryption algorithm constitutes a significant time in packet processing, I want to include this time into the simulation.  I wonder, when estimating the time for encryption/decryption, is it a common practice to run a seperate encryption/decryption program to test the time for cryptographic algorithms on a machine with certain computational power, and manually set this delay as a parameter to the simulator?  Or, did people actually run the encryption/decryption inside the simulator to test the time?  Thank you for helping!

Best regards,
Leiyuan Li
