Simulation Platform Manager

This workflow describes a scalable, parallel simulation system designed to optimize network decisions through a coordinated process. It relies on a shared file system for data exchange and a distributed architecture for processing.

1. Execution Guide

1.1 Startup Sequence

The Simulation Platform Manager wakes up the registered simulator and runs the simulation using the required network data collected by the NDTwin Kernel, following this strict order.

  1. Ryu Controller
  2. Mininet (if you are using emulated network)
  3. NDTwin Kernel
  4. Simulation Platform Manager

1.2 Running the Simulation Platform Manager

Open a terminal in the Simulation Platform Manager directory:

cd ~/Simulation-Platform-Manager
sudo ./simulation_platform_manager
  • Why sudo? The server requires root privileges to mount the NFS directory /mnt/nfs/sim during operation.
  • Confirmation: Wait for the “Server started” message.
