组播网络仿真平台的设计与实现

Design and implementation of a network simulator on multeast

IP组播技术是个新兴领域 ,在发展的过程中 ,涌现了大量的组播路由协议。为了有效的测试和比较这些不断被提出的组播协议的性能 ,本文提出了一个全新的、基于离散事件驱动的专门测试组播路由的网络仿真平台Msimulator。该平台通过建立网络模型为组播路由协议性能的验证和比较提供了一个更为真实可靠、经济有效的测试手段 ,大大减少了网络建设中的盲目性以及投资风险 。

IP multicast technology is a burgeoning domain, various multicast routing protocols have been putting forward in the process of it's development. In order to test and compare efficiently these continually arisen multicast protocol, this article put a bran-new, discrete event diven network simulator on multicast Msimulator. Via building a network model, this simulator provide a more realiable, economical and valuable tools for researchers to test and diagnose multicast routing protocols, largely reducing the blindness and the risk of investment during the network buiding process, and extremely promoting multicast research.
