Abstract

when new network architecture is designed, it is usually not possible to practically implement it and then test for the various pitfalls and shortcomings as it may require huge amounts of resources and time. Hence, before deployment, the network is simulated using a computer simulator in which hundreds of nodes can be tested for various parameters such as the performance in searching for a data item, cost of adding nodes to the existing network, scalability, bandwidth consumption, etc. A computer simulation is an attempt to model a real life or hypothetical situation on a computer so that it can be studied to see how the system works. The paper describes the ShpSim developed for structured hierarchical p2p protocol.

Keywords

Simulator, structured hierarchical p2p, ShpSim, Event, Query.
