Description:
NARVAL has been designed on top of the Scilab environment. It has been created
at the University of Luxembourg within the Interdisciplinary Centre for
Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT). The Centre carries out interdisciplinary
research and graduate education in secure, reliable, and trustworthy ICT systems
and services. This module is focusing on the analysis of network protocols. The
main goal of this toolbox is to provide a complete software environment enabling
the understanding of available communication algorithms, but also the design of
new schemes. NARVAL permits to generate random topologies in order to study the
impact of routing algorithms on the effectiveness of transmission protocols used
by data communications The target audience includes academics, students,
engineers and scientists. We put some efforts to build detailed help files. The
description of each function has been carefully done in order to facilitate the
end users' comprehension.The module is self-sufficient as it does not depend on
other internal/extrenal scilab toolboxes. NARVAL is running on the current
release Scilab 5.3.3. We decided to create a specific classification according
to the goal of each function:
- NARVAL_D_* : topology Discovery
- NARVAL_F_* : general Function
- NARVAL_G_* : Graph
- NARVAL_IP_* : Image Processing
- NARVAL_I_* : Internet traffic
- NARVAL_M_* : Mobility
- NARVAL_P_* : Peer-to-Peer
- NARVAL_R_* : Routing
- NARVAL_S_* : Security
- NARVAL_T_* : Topology generation
- NARVAL_W_* : Weakly connected dominated set
