To-do for research this week

  • Understand the basic operation of network device drivers and routing/bridging processes in order to implement network simulation models that are more independent of simulators. Specifically, the following will be investigated:
    • How IRQs and their handlers are related with event handlers in discrete-event-driven simulators;
    • How timers can be implemented in simulators such a way that details specific to simulators are hidden from the models.
  • Start working on building new simulation models for hybrid TDM/WDM-PONs based on existing SUCCESS models and OMNeT++ 4.x release.
  • Study the concurrent programming and languages better supporting this framework including Erlang, scalar, and clojure.
