CCN Simulators: Analysis and Cross-Comparison

This demo focuses on the cross-comparison of CCN simulators available as open source software. The aim is to starta quantitative evaluation of the accuracy, coherence, as wellas scalability of software tools available for CCN, in orderto understand their boundaries and check if they achieveconsistent results. The demo process consists of showingresults produced by the tracing systems of each simulatorusing an interactive parallel coordinate graph, which allowsdifferent metrics to be shown at the same time. Both theconsistency of simulation results and the differences betweenseveral combinations of forwarding strategies, cache replacements policies, and network settings can be verified by usersthat can interact by proposing and reproducing their ownscenario in more than one simulator
