[Peerfactsim-developer] Interest on using the PeerfactSim

[Kapourani V. <vka...@ae...>]

Hello!

My name is Varvara Kapourani and I am a PhD student from Greece studying p2p networks. 
I am interesting in using your p2p simulator (PeerfactSim.KOM) for my work and I would really appreciated if you could help me by answering in some questions and provide me any available material; firstly, I’d like to know if there is a tutorial that guides someone on how to install, configure and use the simulator - I could use a reference as a start point. Secondly, it would be very helpful for saving time and working efficiently if I knew the supported network layers and protocols that your simulator has, as well as the topologies that can be simulated and any other techniques or/and algorithms that have been implemented and are ready to be used. For example, which parameters across the layers can be captured and measured (e.g. rate, bandwidth, latency, loss, R-D, PSNR etc) so that we can also have statistics for them? Which are the available algorithms for peers’ entering/churn (e.g. Poisson), packet routing (e.g. Dijkstra) and what about the organization of the peers in the overlay / topology (e.g. GT-ITM or directed graph or flow tree etc)? Can the simulator be adapted to work with SVC coding? Is there any GUI interface for the simulator's configuration and visualisation of the run-time results?  Generally, I’d be grateful for any details that may provide me.


Waiting for your reply…

Thanks a priory for your time.

Sincerely, 
Varvara Kapourani.
