Simulator

Introduction

OpenSCHC includes a way to run simple simulations: to use it, one sets up, one creates nodes,

An example of simulation is in examples/simulator.

Configuration

The configuration is in a dictionary with the following fields

• There have been 4 different versions of logging :

• “log” (boolean): the initial logging system (with clock). Not used much lately.

• “enable-print” (boolean): the print statements that have been added to do debugging.

• “enable-trace” (boolean): the trace displays only the packet exchanged between nodes.

• the record system to record the state of nodes at each event.

When used, the record system uses the following entries in the dictionary:

• “record.enable” (boolean): should loging

• “record.directory” (string): the name of the directory where all state/logs will be stored

• “record.format” (string): the format with which the information is stored (“pprint” or “json”)

• “record.quiet” (string): disable all output from screen (including trace)

Testing

An example of simulation in examples/simulator can be run through the script run_simul.sh.
