This repository contains software artifacts for the the paper: Philipp Moll, Selina Isak, Hermann Hellwagner, Jeff Burke. A Quadtree-based Synchronization Protocol for Inter-Server Game State Synchronization. Submitted to Computer Networks, Elsevier.
This repository is a fork of the MiniNDN repository. The original README content can be found below.
The script to perform the evaluation can bei found in examples/serversync_experiment.py. To start, execute
sudo python3 examples/serversync_experiment.py -h. The used topologies were the 4-server-topo, the 16-server-topo
and the geant topology. Please specify the parameters --server-cluster and --num-servers accordingly.
The trace files used in the paper's evalulations can be found in the traceFiles folder. However, other trace files
can be generated as explained in the reproducibility repository of the paper.
To install MiniNDN and all Dependencies, please use sudo ./install.sh -a
The results of a minindn evaluation run can be found in the folder specified by
the --resultDir option. In order to draw figures from the raw results, a
post processing step is necessary. The scripts can be found in the scripts
folder of this repository. To postprocess, use the script
scripts/SyncLatencyCalculation.py.
Once the results for all required settings are post-processed, the script 'scripts/visuals.py' can be used to create the required figures.
