An extensible simulation tool for overlay networks and services

Published: 08 March 2009 Publication History

Abstract

Research community on distributed systems, and in particular on peer-to-peer systems, needs tools for evaluating their own protocols and services, as well as against other protocols with the same preconditions. Since a (TCP/IP) experimental evaluation is not always feasible, simulation tools appeared.
In this paper we introduce PlanetSim, a discrete event-based simulation framework tool for overlay networks and services, as well as extensions from third parties that prove its true extensibility and adaptability to the researchers' needs. In addition, we introduce within PlanetSim a novel methodology for implementing peer-to-peer overlay protocols based on behaviors.
