Statistical Framework for Network Simulation

Previous Work

Several components and packages have been made for NS-2 to collect and manage data and statistics. A variety of these are listed in the NS-2 wiki. The following are notes on particular efforts.

• ns2measure.
• simd.
• ns-2/akaroa-2.
• tracegraph.
• rpi ns2graph.
• ns2 jtrana. Takes an ns-2 trace file, parses it into MySQL, and provides an interface to interrogate the database and produce graphs and other output in several formats. The database scheme seems to be a straightforward encoding of the raw trace data.
• Samer Bali's tools. Scripts for post-simulation trace analysis, and averaging from multiple runs. Calculates packet delivery ratio, normalized throughput, routing overhead ratio, end to end delay, hop count, connection time.
