Java implementation of the OGP protocol and the experiment controller

Participants : Giang Ngo Hoang [contact] , Luigi Liquori.

OGP-Experiment contains Java implementation of the OGP protocol (OGP stands for overlay gateway protocol) which is used for inter-routing between heterogeneous overlay networks, and a Java implementation of the experiment controller, which is responsible for scheduling, managing and monitoring the statistics of the experiments. The software supports experiments in churn and no-churn environments. Performance metrics of the OGP protocol, such as the latency, the successful rate of data lookup and the traffic generated by a peer are reported. The experiments are performed on the Grid 5000 platform. Heterogeneous overlays which are connected by OGP can be easily plugged into the software.
