This repository contains projects that will allow network application developers to systematically test, profile, and tune their Network Apps. Some of the tools we are looking to develop are:
- Logger: tracing capabilities to judge the performance of the deployed Network App
- Garbage Collector: Reviews infrequently used rules and removes or merges with similar rules.
- Resource Manager: a mechanism for resource management providing feedback to the Network App and the virtual controller.
- Model Checker: systematically exercise app behaviour and flag actions that lead to violations of the desired safety properties
- Profiler: judging the impact of network failures on the Network App behaviour
- Debugger: supports debug of packet processing (OFReplay, packet inspection and flow table checking)
- Simulator: used for quick prototyping and performance prediction
- TrafficEmulator: used with the Emulator to generate realistic traffic
