Friends I've developed an algorithm to create and manage a cluster of servers I've implemented this algo in C and have successfully run it on a cluster containing 3 nodes. Now I want to make a performance analysis of this cluster but I've limited resources and can't get any more systems. This has limited my analysis and i'm not able to draw any conclusion.
I've heard that there r simulators that can simulate algos. and network configurations. So i want help in locating any such simulator where i can represent my algo in any form and see its performance for greater no. of nodes (200 and above).please send me links where i can find such simulators or any possible help to solve this problem.

Plz. do help as soon as possible. Thanks in advance

yes network simulators are available.

you can go for NS-4. And I am not sure of the latest release of the network simulator.

and NS versions are free. Just give a click in google and get the download.
I believe ( not cent percent sure ) all the network simulations and algorithms to be done in TCL/TK script language ( and that is damn easy ) and I am not sure of capability of NS to embed foreign language in using it for simulation.

All the best!!!

Sorry matrixmadhan i tried to google for NS-4 but it gives libraries for mozilla (probably its taking NS for NetScape) also sites for rpmdatabases like http://rpmfind.net/ & http://tuxfinder.com/ etc. didn't show any package meant for network simulation. So plz. give me the link of the site from where I can download this simulator.

Also I want to make it clear that I'm neither using LVS or any other known package or libs. so will NS-4 simulate my algo in that case and if not plz. suggest any other simulator that can do so.

Thank u very much for helping and hope u reply this too.

Hi Rakesh,

Have you tried searching Google with Network Simulator, I found this two links given below along with various more.

Hope you could find the one useful for you.

Please note that I dont know the technical part of your previous post, I just search for the word Network Simulator out of curiosity and decided to post the link if it of some use to you.

Best Regards

Shoeb

try the following,

link1
link2
link3
link4
i am trying to locate the link for ns-4
probably once i am done i will update.

Thanks matrixmadhan & soheb I'll try these simulators and hope it works for me. Now I'll trouble u only if these doesn't work. Thanks a lot
