As wireless networking products and ad-hoc networks become more popular, the resource usage in routing packets for other network users will become an issue for users and developers of ad-hoc wireless products. In this paper, we propose a novel monitoring tool called WANMon (Wireless Ad-hoc Network Monitoring Tool). WANMon can be installed on a wireless node to monitor resource usage (such as network usage, power usage, memory usage, and CPU usage) at the node, in the context of how much of resource is used for supporting the node's own applications versus the usage for routing data of other network users in an ad-hoc wireless network. We discuss design of WANMon, and present our prototype implementation of WANMon in Linux, which provides a starting point for further research and a basis for developing a fully featured ad-hoc wireless network monitoring tool.
