CS6676 Project: Simulation of a network

 

Total: 30 points (total 30% of the entire grade) -> Two projects

Objective: Creation of the your own network behaviors.

Through the Tic Toc Examples you have studied, you now have knowledge of

sending messages and replying messages to nodes in the network. You have to create

1) basic Send-Forward-Reply Simulation and 2) Multicast network simulation.

These two networks can be created with only using basic operations you have

learned and seen in the Tic Toc examples. Please go over other Tic Toc examples to

get hints of building two different network simulation.

 

Project 1 – 1): Send-Forward-Reply Simulation (10 points)

In this project you will create 5 nodes that are communicating. A message sent by

a node 0 can be only received by node 1. Node1 will forward the received message

to node 2. Node 2 will forward the message to node 3. Node 3 will be forwarding

the message to node 4. Node 4 will generate a reply message and send it to node .

Node 3 will forward it to node 2. Node 2 will forward the message to node 1. Node

1 will forward the message to node 0. The figure above is the example network

format. Note that network is not a circle. Node 4 CANNOT send message to node

0 directly. For full credit, you must submit you have to submit all of the

following files (If I do not have them all, I cannot run the program which will

lead to 0pts)

– .ini file

-.ned file

-.cc files

-.msg files

 

Project 1 – 2): Screenshots (5 points)

Submit the screenshot of the working program

*Partial points will be given.

Project 2 – 1) Multicast (10 points)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This project aims to send multiple messages to multiple receiving nodes. Node 0

initiates send message. However, this time, it is sending 4 messages ‘AT THE

SAME TIME’ There is no forwarding message in this network. Nodes 1, 2, 3, 4

will send reply messages back to Node 0. You must show that it has received all 4

messages. For full credit, you must submit you have to submit all of the

following files (If I do not have them all, I cannot run the program which will

lead to 0pts)

– .ini file

-.ned file

-.cc files

-.msg files
