WoPANets-extension

A simple extension to the network analysis tool wopanets that computes end to end delays, switch backlogs, and stability for networks specified in the WoPANets input format

• The executable class is Main.py.

• Parser.py, Utils.py, Classes.py and Main.py need to be in the same folder. The folder containing the xml samples must be in the same directory.

• Classes.py contains the classes used to represent the network entities, and most of the functions used to calculate the network attributes

• Parser.py contains methods to parse input XML files and produce output XML files with the computed characteristics

• Utils.py contains several helper functions

• The program outputs to a folder called PythonResults

• The following parameters are used to configure the behaviour of the program

  • In Main.py
    • directory: Where to locate the input xml files
    • searchFiles: ".xml" by default The program will examine all files within directory finishing by this string
  • in Utils.py
    • verbose: Enables the program to output status reports to the terminal
    • checkStability: If True, links that are unstable will receive "inf" delays and backlogs. Otherwise, the standard formula will be applied regardless of stability.
  • in Parser.py
    • digitsPrecision: How many digits of precision are used in the output file
