SSFNet and Routing Simulation

BJ Premore

Computer Science

SSFNet is a Java-based discrete-event package for network simulation.
The aims of this session will be (1) to show, from the perspective of
the network modeler, how SSFNet is used, and (2) to give examples of
what types of problems can explored with it, with a particular
emphasis on routing issues.

There will be a concise general introduction to the simulator itself,
including a look inside at its organization and structure, as well as
an overview of the Domain Modeling Language (DML) used to build
models. Following that will be a more in-depth examination of the
component models included in SSFNet, particularly the BGP inter-domain
routing protocol package. As a concrete example, we'll examine how
SSFNet has been used to study the distributed convergence properties
of BGP.
