CCN Simulators: Analysis and Cross-Comparison
Abstract
This demo focuses on the cross-comparison of CCN simulators available as open source software. The aim is to start
a quantitative evaluation of the accuracy, coherence, as well
as scalability of software tools available for CCN, in order
to understand their boundaries and check if they achieve
consistent results. The demo process consists of showing
results produced by the tracing systems of each simulator
using an interactive parallel coordinate graph, which allows
different metrics to be shown at the same time. Both the
consistency of simulation results and the differences between
several combinations of forwarding strategies, cache replacements policies, and network settings can be verified by users
that can interact by proposing and reproducing their own
scenario in more than one simulator.
