Abstract
In this paper, we present a simulation environment for storage area networks calledSIMLAB. SIMLAB is a part of the PRESTO project, which is a joint project of the Elec- trical Engineering Department and the Computer Science Department of the Paderborn University. The aim of the PRESTO project is to construct a scalable and resource- efficient storage network that can support the real-time de- livery of data. SIMLAB has been implemented to aid the de- velopment and verification of distributed algorithms for th is storage network. However, it has been designed in such a way that it can also be used for the simulation of many other types of networking problems. SIMLAB is based on C++ and common libraries and input/output formats, which en- sures that SIMLAB can be used on many different platforms. We therefore expectSIMLAB to be useful also for other peo- ple working on similar problems.Keywords
