Welcome to the RoutingSim homepage

RoutingSim is a simulation framework that allows the analysis of the algorithmic behaviour of routing protocols in large-scale networks. To this end, it provides network topologies, pre-calculated shortest paths, and several network dynamic models (e.g, catastrophic failure or weibull distributed lifetime churn). This provides a ready-to-go evaluation environment that allows rapid prototyping and testing of fresh approaches to routing. The intended audience of RoutingSim are researchers who seek reproducible, scalable, and comparable simulation results independently from a specific type of network (e.g., ad-hoc networks or sensor networks).

Currently RoutingSim includes an implementation of extended Virtual Ring Routing (eVRR). Many other protocols, e.g., Distributed Compact Routing (Disco) or Dynamic Address RouTing (DART) are under preparation and will be made available to the community within the next few months.

We are currently setting up these pages, if you need a quick tour of RoutingSim please visit the documentation.

You are welcome to contribute to this project, add comments, and discuss all things about routing. We're seeking to make RoutingSim a community effort to turn current trends of routing routing protocols to practice and ignite further research directions. If you are interested being part of this development please contact us!
