Hi,
I have a question regarding message ordering in Ruby.
Because the SimpleNetwork offers adaptive routing, in which messages can proceed
in the network out-of-order, I always assumed some kind of re-ordering was in
place.However, I made some changes to the network which makes it possible for
messages to travel the network out-of-order and the simulations seem to be
running in trouble because of that. I started looking for such a re-ordering
buffer but I cannot find such a thing (I use the MESI_CMP_protocol).
So my question is, is there any re-ordering present in Ruby and if so, could you
please give some pointers as to where that would be?
Ruby does not maintain any ordering information about the packets.
Depending on the parameter values, it can force links in the network
to transmit packets in a FIFO order.
