VirtuaSimulator

VirtuaSimulator provides facilities for virtual embedded networks simulation and assessment. It focuses primarily on network dependability attributes.

Setup:

• Java;
• Maven;

Code Modules

1. Generator;
2. Graphicator;
3. Simulator;

Generator

Generate random input for simulation experiments. It may, for instance, generate random substrate networks and virtual network requests for an environment of network virtualization.

Graphicator

Create formatted files for properly data visualization. It takes simulation's output and generates files that may serve as input for tools like LibreOffice.

Simulator

Simulate embedding of virtual network requests onto a substrate physical network. It also disposes implementation for allocation approaches -- in other words, for Virtual Network Mapping Problem solvers.

Tasks

Each module owns some tasks that serve as sample simulator utilization.

Executing tasks

Run tasks with Maven exec plugin:

$ mvn clean compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=generator.tasks.CreateVirtuaVNMPs

In summary:

1. clean removes all previously compiled files -- if any;
2. compile compiles the source code;
3. exec:java invokes Java main from class passed through -Dexec.mainClass;

Running the tests

$ mvn test

Running tests for a single test class:

$ mvn test -Dtest=GraphTest.java # run tests in GraphTest.java
