queueing-tool 1.2.5

Documentation

The package documentation can be found at http://queueing-tool.readthedocs.org/.

Features

• Fast simulation. Queueing-tool is designed to run very quickly; the core algorithms were written in cython.

• Visualizations. There are several tools that allow you to easily view congestion and movement within your network. This includes ready made functions for animating network dynamics while your simulations take place.

• Full documentation. Every function and class is fully documented both online and in the docstrings.

• Fast setup. The network is represented as a networkx graph. Queueing-tool networks allow for probabilistic routing, finite capacity queues, and different blocking protocols for analyzing loss networks.

Installation

Prerequisites: Queueing-tool runs on Python 2.7 and 3.4-3.10, but changes going forward are only tested against Python 3.6-3.10. Queueing-tool requires networkx and numpy, and depends on matplotlib if you want to plot.

Installation: To install from PyPI use:

pip install queueing-tool

The above will automatically install networkx and numpy. If you want to plot use:

pip install queueing-tool[plotting]

Note that queueing-tool uses networkx’s pagerank implementation. As of networkx 2.8.6, they have several versions of the pagerank algorithm and queueing-tool defaults to using the version that requires scipy. If scipy is not installed then it trys the numpy based implementation.

After installation, import queueing-tool with something like:

import queueing_tool as qt
