Description

Core SSFNet Packages

SSF.Net	Core SSFNet classes for modeling and simulation of network elements (hosts, routers, network interfaces, links) and configuration of arbitrarily complex network topologies.
SSF.Net.Util	SSFNet classes supporting model component addressing and automatic IP address allocation for networks and host/router interfaces.
SSF.OS	Core SSFNet classes for modeling and simulation of network protocols, protocol messages, and operating system components.
SSF.Util.Plot	Provides a simple graph plotting component that (at present) is targeted towards visualization of time-series of collected data.
SSF.Util.Random	SSFNet classes supporting the management of multiple random number streams, and encapsulation of high quality pseudorandom number generators and common probability distributions from the package cern.jet.random.
SSF.Util.Streams	This package supports efficient multi-point network monitoring infrastructure for collection of streaming data from many Monitors.

Contributed SSFNet Packages

SSF.OS.BGP4	Provides the core functionality of the Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP-4).

SSF.OS.BGP4.Timing	Provides the timing functionality and features (timers) of the Border Gateway Protocol.
SSF.OS.BGP4.Util	Provides functionality which supports the Border Gateway Protocol package (SSF.OS.BGP4) but which is not directly related to the protocol itself.
SSF.OS.BGP4.Widgets	Provides useful odds-and-ends functionality for various simulations, usually using an internal timer to perform a specific action at a given time.
SSF.OS.NetFlow	Classes supporting the monitoring and filtering of IP packets processed by the IP protocol (SSF.OS.IP), for the collection of IP flow data from the routers in the spirit of Cisco's FlowCollector.

Other Packages

cern.colt	A subset of the Colt 1.0.1 distribution required by the package cern.jet.random.

SSFNet is a collection of packages for high-performance scalable modeling and simulation of large, multi-protocol, multi-domain IP networks.

SSFNet provides Java SSF-based components for modeling and simulation of Internet protocols and networks at and above the IP packet level of detail. Link layer and physical layer modeling can be provided in separate components.

SSFNet models are self-configuring - that is, each SSFNet class instance can autonomously configure itself by querying a configuration database, which may be locally resident or available over the Web. All network configuration files are in the DML format. They are used to configure a complete model, and instantiate a simulation with the help of the scalable DML configuration database package that is distributed with the SSF simulators.

The principal classes used to construct virtually any large or small Internet model are organized into two derivative frameworks, SSF.OS (for modeling of the host and operating system components, esp. protocols) and SSF.Net (for modeling network connectivity, creating node and link configurations).

The frameworks SSF.OS and SSF.Net hide all details of the discrete event simulator SSF API, allowing to implement the protocols like for a real operating system.

Support for modeling global-scale Internet monitoring infrastructures is provided by the package SSF.Util.Streams.

Support for the generation of high quality independent random number streams and a collection of common probability distributions is provided by the package SSF.Util.Random, that manages the random number stream seeds and encapsulates the high quality pseudorandom generators and distributions from the cern.jet.random and related packages used in CERN scientific libraries.
