Fast creation and configuration of topologies, traffic matrices and event schedules for network experiments

The Fast Network Simulation Setup (FNSS) core library is a Python library providing a set of features allowing network researchers and engineers to simplify the setup of a network experiment.

These features include the ability to:

• Parse a topology from a dataset, a topology generator or generate it according to a number of synthetic models.

• Apply link capacities, link weights, link delays and buffer sizes.

• Deploy protocol stacks and applications on network nodes.

• Generate traffic matrices.

• Generate event schedules.

The core library allows users to export the generated scenarios (topologies, traffic matrices and event schedules) to ns-2, Mininet or AutoNetKit.

It also allows to save scenarios in XML files, which can be later imported by the FNSS Java, C++ and ns-3 libraries.
