Folks: To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a large-scale
survey of p2p simulators today.  There are some papers written
on this subject --- most notably [1] and [2] --- but [1] is
fairly dated and [2] scratches the surface.

Hardware (multicore machines) and software (parallel programming
frameworks) advances have allowed greater flexibility in
simulating large-scale systems today.

I think that having p2prg look deeper into a survey of p2p
simulators may be of interest to both academics as well as
practitioners.

I have started the ball rolling by submitting a document [3] that
gathers some of my thoughts on how to proceed.  The document is
not complete, nor do I claim that it is comprehensive.  To
impart these properties, I would need help from the p2prg
community, especially those of you who are currently working with
simulation frameworks.

Can you please read [3] --- it is a short draft --- and see if
this is of interest to you?  I have requested an agenda slot in
Prague, but it'll be great if we could have a larger discussion
on this (not to mention some volunteer editors) before the Prague
meeting.

Thanks,

Matthias: Excellent, thanks for the pointer.  This work is also
dated and looks like it fizzled out.

I will get in touch with the authors and see if they are
interested in contributing to the current work.  Hopefully, we will
have enough interest to finish the current work.

Ciao,

Hi Vijay,

  I had a quick look on your document: First of all, I agree with you 
that the RG should work further on it.

  It would probably be helpful to add a section (e.g., before Section 3) 
that discusses the problem space: What are important requirements for 
P2P simulators?


  Some minor comments:

  *Introduction*:

  The draft may also be a guidance for people, who want to develop their 
own P2P simulators.


  *Criteria for evaluating simulation frameworks* 

  Support for other models (Churn, ALTO, etc.)
  

  *List of simulation frameworks*

  There is also PeerfactSim 
(http://peerfact.kom.e-technik.tu-darmstadt.de/), which provides a good 
model for the Internet delay space. This is important for 
proximity-based peer selection.



Cheers
  matthias

I agree; I suspect that as the work progresses, this will become more
clear and we can enunciate it crisply.

Sure; added to my working copy.

Ah, interesting.  To which extent are properties like churn a function
of the model itself versus an intrinsic service that the simulator
framework should provide?  In other words, if I look at ns-3, I can
develop a Chord application model and imbue it with a churn rate of
my choosing.  NS-3 does not have to do anything special.  Thoughts?

Cool; added in my working copy.

Before Prague, I will make my working copy available at a public site
if the comments pore in (which I hope they do).  However, I suspect that
having submitted -00 today, the datatracker tool will not allow me to
submit a -01 on the same day, or even during the next week.

Dear all,
triggered by this draft, I would like to throw in the discussion a =20
couple of random thoughts, not directly related with the specific =20
draft, but still in the area of influence of P2P network simulations.

I am currently involved in a national project about P2P streaming.  In =20
the last meeting we agreed that a problem in this field is that there =20
is no "standard" (in a weak sense) methodology to compare performances =20
of P2P systems and this makes it difficult to compare different =20
solutions.  Therefore, we are trying to find one or more standard "use =20
cases" to be used to compare different P2P systems.

The problem is quite complex, both because of the complexity of the  =20
"boundary conditions" of your system (e.g., number of nodes, churn =20
level, network congestion status, ...) and the "performance value" you =20
want to measure: what do you measure?  Overall SNR at the receiver?  =20
Probability of "video freezing"? Variance of SNR?  Start-up times? =20
Delay from source to receiver? (clearly those measures are related =20
with streaming applications, other applications could use different =20
quality figures) .  Moreover, there are some "parameters" that could =20
be considered as part of the "boundary conditions" or as part of the =20
system to be measured (e.g., network topology).

I am _not_ saying that this type of consideration should be included =20
in the draft (they could be included, they could be part of a =20
different draft or they could be discarded right away), but maybe the =20
two aspects (what p2p simulation systems are available and how they =20
should be used) are related.

Just my 0.02 thrown in the discussion.

Greetings,
Riccardo

Dear Vijay,

I very much support your effort in creating a document surveying P2P 
simulators. At Stirling we have been doing some work on Oversim 
validating overlay models (Chord, Kademlia, EpiChord, Pastry) against 
results from the original papers proposing these overlays.

We would be very happy contributing to your efforts. We agree this would 
be a useful document for the community - the lack of such a document 
this was our initial motivation too.

Best regards,
Mario Kolberg

To a certain extent, p2p file-sharing systems are well understood since
the academic community has looked at them for a good while now.  So, it
is easier to extrapolate the requirements of a simulator for a p2p file-
sharing type of application.  P2P streaming applications, obviously,
have different demands than do static file-sharing ones.  I would love
to include some considerations for a simulator framework to support p2p
streaming-type of applications.  However, as usual it will boil down
to interest (*many* people have lots of this) versus time (*all* people
have much less of this) and expertise (*some* people have lots of this).

If your interest is high, and you have the time and expertise to
contribute insights on what p2p streaming applications would require
of a simulator framework, I would much appreciate working with you to
get some text into the draft (and again, I am not saying we need to do
this before Prague, but by the time the p2prg meets next, we should
take a reasonable stab at this).

Thanks,

- vijay

  I don't know if I understand it correctly. NS-3 is a discrete event 
simulator, which provides a basic set of functions (mainly handling 
events etc.) to implement different models. To implement churn, NS-3 
does not have to do anything special.

  There are properties that require their own model and that makes only 
sense in a narrowed scenario. For example, in a dedicated P2P simualtor 
we would not expect an extensive layer 2 model, but may expect a 
detailed underlay topology support.

  Btw: Churn is good example that properties may be intricate. Churn may 
result from application/user behaviour or node behaviour (e.g., due to 
node movement and lossy WLAN). This results more or less in the question 
of abstraction: Is it necessary to account for the latter in P2P?

Hi Riccardo,

  finding a standard model and a standard simulation scenario to compare 
different P2P systems is a continuous challenge. And it even gets more 
complicated if you want to establish it as reference model ... Analyzing 
the general "boundary conditions" and "performance measures" for P2P 
systems could be part of a problem statement as it is necessary to 
evaluate the simulators.

  General side remark: A "standard methodology" to compare different 
solutions is not only missing in the context of P2P, but also in the 
broader network community. In contrast to the video coding people, for 
example, we have no real reference models/scenarios. This problem is 
mainly related to researchers, but it could be an interesting symbiosis 
of IETF and IRTF to develop such reference models.


Best regards
  matthias

Right, exactly.  The application model running on top of ns-3
will have the required intelligence.

I was merely trying to point out that as we look at the simulation
frameworks, one way to characterize them could be what sort of p2p-like
services they provide intrinsically (i.e., the user does not have to add
the behaviour to the simulator explicitly).

Churn is one such service.  NS-3 will not provide it natively, but
other simulators may (does anyone know if dedicated p2p simulators
provide knobs to control the churn rate?)

Replication is another service that may be provided by a dedicated
p2p simulator but would need to be explicitly put into a model
running over ns-3.

Thanks,

  hm, partly: If NS-3 provides a mobility model for the nodes, you can 
evaluate churn conditions (P2P & MANETs).

  OverSim, which is P2P framework for OMNeT++, provides several churn 
models. You can control the churn rate for each generator:

Oversim has a churn generator which can be parametrised in the 
simulation configuration. It supports NoChurn (after all the nodes have 
been added to the network, no nodes leave), LifetimeChurn (a node's 
lifetime is selected randomly based on a given probability), ParetoChurn 
(using heavily tailed Pareto distribution of node lifetimes), 
RandomChurn (selecting a node at random after a fixed interval).

Flow level or message level simulators may be more scalable
in the sense that they generate less number of events.  Distributed
simulation is another way to scale.  One of the outputs of the
work under consideration will be to look at the scalability
aspects of the most commonly used simulators.

Ah, OK.  That is one way to look at it --- while ns-3 does not
provide the notion of "churn" itself, it does provide the ability to
bring hosts up and down thereby *causing* churn at the DHT layer.
The DHT application model itself can schedule events to bring a
host up or down, thereby inducing churn into the system.

I have not used OverSim, but from what you and Mario describe, it looks
like churn is modeled as a specific attribute in the simulator
itself.

The same can be approximated in ns-3 if we had a Chord model in
ns-3 and the model had a "churn" attribute.  BTW, we have publicly
released a CAN DHT model in ns-3 [1], in case anyone is interested.
We are working to make it scale to 1 million nodes.  We have not
introduced churn into our CAN DHT model yet.

Hi Vijay,

  just for clarification:

  In OverSim, churn is implemented as a separate model, independent of 
the P2P algorithm. There are different churn generators available. Churn 
generators will be associated with the scenario that is simulated, and 
can be parameterized. In 
this sense churn is a specific attribute of the scenario.

  1 million nodes sounds ambitious. OverSim allows for 100,000 nodes, 
which does not hold in all cases, but is quite good from experiences. It 
obviously depends on the complexity of the overall model in use (which 
type of underlying topology, etc.).

Ah, OK.

> 1 million nodes sounds ambitious.

I agree; we'll see how close we can get.  We have got to 2^14
nodes and have stretched it a bit beyond that.  However, the
time it takes to create the DHT topology increases non-linearly
beyond a certain point.  We are looking into why this is the
case.

Folks,

We updated our P2P experiment report in Japan document few days ago.

http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-kamei-p2p-experiments-japan-05.txt

Upon receiving several feedbacks, the document was entirely brushed up. =
But what we want to say isn't so different from the previous versions.

Thanks,

Folks,

here is the agenda, so far, for our meeting in Prague. The meeting
is scheduled on Tuesday March 29 at 17:10. Being the last meeting of
the day and due to the agenda length we will probably extend the
meeting of about 10-15 min.

5 min - Agenda bash, status update etc. (chairs)
10 min - Update on: draft-kamei-p2p-experiments-japan-05.txt (Tsuyoshi  
Momose)
10 min - Update on: draft-asai-cross-domain-overlay-01 (Hirochika Asai)
15 min - draft-gurbani-p2prg-simulation-survey-00 (Vijay)
15 min - draft-ietf-ppsp-survey-01 (Yunfei)
10 min - P2P smartgrids, sensor networks, IoT (JP Vasseur)

See you in Prague!

Thanks.
s.

Folks,

here is the agenda, so far, for our meeting in Prague. The meeting
is scheduled on Tuesday March 29 at 17:10. Being the last meeting of
the day and due to the agenda length we will probably extend the
meeting of about 10-15 min.

  5 min - Agenda bash, status update etc. (chairs)
10 min - Update on: draft-kamei-p2p-experiments-japan-05.txt (Tsuyoshi  
Momose)
10 min - Update on: draft-asai-cross-domain-overlay-01 (Hirochika Asai)
15 min - draft-gurbani-p2prg-simulation-survey-00 (Vijay)
15 min - draft-ietf-ppsp-survey-01 (Yunfei)
10 min - P2P smartgrids, sensor networks, IoT (JP Vasseur)

See you in Prague!

Thanks.
s.

Folks,

in order to speed up the agenda (as we're already in overflow mode),
we're looking right now for minutes/jabber takers so we can start
the meeting on time.

Any volunteer, come back to Volker or myself.

Thanks.

s.

*** We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message ***
Dear colleagues

We're conducting a study of how people use network testbeds (e.g.,
like Emulab and Planetlab, or private testbeds in house). Please help
us by taking a 7-question, 5-min anonymous survey:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/B6PCRXY

We're interested in your input even if you have not used testbeds (or
heard about them). This is an NSF-funded study with a potential to
influence how testbeds are funded and managed so your input may have
real impact on network research. Results of the study will be released
publicly at http://www.isi.edu/~mirkovic/Testbeds

Thank you
