Detailed Description

Interface with BRITE, the Boston university Representative Internet Topology gEnerator.

This helper class creates an interface with BRITE and allows the user to easily create ns-3 topologies from BRITE generated graphs. This class accepts a BRITE configuration and seed file, much like the stand-alone BRITE software. Using these files, BRITE generates a graph which is stored herein. ns-3 examples can then grab the BRITE generated nodes and edges from this helper and create ns-3 specific topologies.
