PlanetSim

PlanetSim is an object oriented simulation framework for overlay networks and services. This framework presents a layered and modular architecture with well defined hotspots documented using classical design patterns.

Introduction

The PlanetSim is an overlay simulator. Exists a clear separation of the three different layers that are simulated:

1. Network level. Mantain the communication between all nodes in the network.
2. Node level: Implements each desired overlay, consisting in its routing table and the application suppport ability.
3. Application level. Implements the desired (one or more per node) using the underlying node to contact with other applications. Each implemented application has an objective, implements a DHT (Distributed Hash Table), for example.

Content

This distribution is a Java Eclipse project (http://eclipse.org). One may use the "Import... -> Existing Project into Workspace" functionallity and browsing to this uncompressed directory to load the PlanetSim to your Eclipse.

Elsewhere, you may edit any class and add the required classes and packages with any other IDE or editor. Then, you can use the ant project manager to compile and build the distribution planetsim.jar file automatically. See bin/README file for more details.

Directory description:

• bin/ Contain all required scripts and source data file to run the existing tests. Also contains the build.xml and planetsim.properties files to use Ant. See bin/README for more details.
• docs/ Contain a brief introduction to the PlanetSim Architecture in HTML format. Also contain the HTML Javadoc API of the entire PlanetSim.
• lib/ Contain the required jars to compile and run all tests.
• src/ Contain the Java source classes of the PlanetSim.
• out/ Contain the Java bytecode classes of the PlanetSim. Initially empty.
• conf/ Contain the configuration files to run all the tests.

Feedback

You can make a very good feedback send us your suggestions, implemented extensions, fixed bugs or the errors. To do so, report them as issues in Planetsim github project

On any error or problem cases, you have to send these information:

1. Version of Planetsim in use
2. Short description of the error (or problem)
3. The detail of the main classes that take part (executed test, etc.)
4. The related stack trace (if exists)
5. Any other remarkable information.
