[GridSim-users] EC-GIN partners would like to announce the release of grid application network simulators

[<m.m...@la...>]

Dear GridSim project members,

The EC-GIN project partners are pleased to announce the availability of
their grid application network traffic simulators for public release.
These simulators represent the conclusion of a work package aimed at
studying, modelling and replicating the network traffic generated from a
range of typical grid applications. This release currently includes four
separate ns2 simulators which model ATLAS, GridFTP, IPTV and PPLive (P2P
streaming) applications respectively, all of which can be tuned to
replicate a range of network conditions and streaming parameters.

The code is now available for download from the project website
(http://www.ec-gin.eu/corpsite/display/dsp_Entity.asp?en_id=696) and is
free to parties wishing to experiment with grid traffic. The simulators
are provided ‘as-is’ with the appropriate files, user guides and detailed
documentation describing their operation.

We believe that this work might be of interest to members of the GridSim
Project and we would greatly appreciate you taking to time to look at this
and circulating it to any other potentially interested parties. Please
feel free to contact us at: ns...@ec... if you require any further
information. Additionally, if you would like to learn more about EC-GIN or
be kept up to date with further developments, please see our main project
website at (http://www.ec-gin.eu/corpsite/display/main.asp)

Thank you for your attention, we apologise for this unsolicited announcement.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Mackay
