SSFNet protocol models |
|---|
|
| Protocol |
Status |
IP |
Core component of SSFNET distribution. Supports DML configuration of packet
and flow monitoring.
|
NIC |
Network Interface driver pseudo-protocol. Supports DML configuration of packet queues,
queue monitoring, and tcpdump.
Core component of SSFNET distribution.
|
|
|
Contributed protocols |
|---|
|
| Protocol |
Status |
TCP |
Generic Reno and Tahoe variants, delayed ack option. Complete instrumentation
package for monitoring of TCP state variables, client and server models. Included in ssfnet distribution.
See an extensive
SSF TCP documentation and validation suite.
|
UDP |
Included in ssfnet distribution, also with client and server models.
|
Sockets |
Included in ssfnet distribution. BSD-like socket interface to tcp and udp
for designing application-level protocols.
|
OSPFv2 |
OSPF routing protocol. Included in ssfnet distribution since release 1.4.
|
OSPF |
OSPF routing protocol - limited static version
(intra-area shortest-path routes are computed statically, AS-external routes by flooding).
|
BGP4 |
Very detailed implementation, included in ssfnet distribution.
See extensive SSF BGP4 documentation and
SSF BGP4 validation suite.
|
HTTP |
Included in ssfnet distribution as SSF.OS.WWW. Includes empirical measurement-based web workload generator client
and server application protocols, based on parameters from the paper "Dynamics of IP traffic: a study of the role
of variability and the impact of control" by Anja Feldmann, Anna Gilbert,
Polly Huang and Walter Willinger, in Proc. of SIGCOMM'99. Both HTTP1.0 and 1.1 behaviors are supported. |
NetFlow |
IP flow collector and flow filters, can be configured at multiple routers.
|
|
SSFNet models are open source software, distributed under the
GNU General Public License.

|
|
Complete network models
|
|---|
|
Visit the gallery of baseline networks.
It contains DML models of large, realistic BGP topologies, heavily congested
networks, and validation models, together with model descriptions and associated publications.
A number of fully configured DML networks are included in the test subdirectories
of all contributed SSFNet protocols, and in the examples/ and src/SSF/App/ directories.
See also the tutorial examples for
documented network models, from fairly simple to complex.

|
|
Bugs etc. |
|---|
SSFNet protocol developers provide extensive validation test suites with the distributed protocols, but some bugs
in the implementations may still be discovered. Ultimately, the users are responsible for verifying
the validity of their simulation results.
Bugs in protocols: Please contact the protocol author.
