XLP network simulation

Simulation tools for evaluating XLP loss detection.

Contents

• NS-3 wireless WAN scenarios and a Python packet simulation model.
• Online loss detection, offline decision-tree training, data collection, and analysis scripts.

Requirements and start

• Python 3.10 or later (standard library only for the Python scripts).
• NS-3.46.1 with CMake and a C++ compiler for NS-3 scenarios.

python scripts/run_simulation.py --scenario multi_client_wan
python scripts/analyze_results.py

Run an NS-3 scenario with python scripts/run_ns3.py --ns3-dir /path/to/ns-3.46.1 --scenario multi_client_wan. Available scenarios: multi_client_wan, loss_profile_sweep, rack_window_sweep, and file_size_sweep.

Data collection

Flow metrics, per-request FCT, and packet samples are written as CSV under data/. Summaries are written to results/.
