Module type Network.Network

The type of the Network abstraction. Provides primitives for creating the network topology and for abstracting message exchanges.

type msg

The type of the messages being exchanged

Stats module to keep track of the number of messages exchanged during the simulation

Stats module to keep track of the total megabytes exchanged during the simulation

val send : int -> int -> msg -> unit

Primitive for point-to-point message exchange.

  • parameter sender_node_id

    the id of the node sending the message

  • parameter target_node_id

    the id of the node receiving the message

  • parameter message

    the contents of the message being sent

val send_to_neighbors : int -> msg -> unit

Primitive to send a message to all neighbors of a given node

  • parameter sender_node_id

    the id of the node sending the message

  • parameter message

    the contents of the message being sent

val gossip : int -> msg -> unit

Primitive to abstract the gossip protocol. Gossips a message to every node in the network. Used for slightly more relaxed scenarios, since it assumes that limited-bandwidth=false.

  • parameter sender_node_id

    the id of the node sending the message

  • parameter message

    the contents of the message being sent

val get_neighbours : int -> links

Primitive to obtain the neighbors of a given node.

  • parameter node_id

    the id of the node whose neighbors we want

val clear : unit -> unit

Primitive to reset all data stored by the network.

Primitive to get the links assigned to each node in the network.

val get_regions : unit -> regions

Primitive to get the region assigned to each node in the network.
