Hi,
me and my colleague decided to simulate some anonymous p2p network as
part of our assignment at "modelling and simulations" course at the uni
(part of C.S. program) and decided to use Freenet. Simulation will be
done in omnet++ (http://www.omnetpp.org/) and we are currently still in
the early stage of deciding on what aspects to simulate at all. We were
thinking of simulating searching for files and figuring out how long it
takes depending on network size and ongoing traffic etc., and perhaps
observing effects of network splitting, or perhaps even network attacks
etc. We haven't studied the protocol yet (we have a basic idea of how it
works though). I am writing here in hope you have some interesting ideas
on what to simulate. Note though it shouldn't be to complicated, we have
unfortunately only a few weeks left to write the simulation. Any
suggestions would be most welcome!
