Hi,

I'm looking for a tool -- or, barring that, suggestions
for a *technique* -- to simulate low bandwidth mesh
networks.

Ideally, I would like to be able to impose this "thing"
between existing machines so that I could prototype
algorithms on various nodes and see how they co-operate
(while gathering data).

Barring that, I would settle for something that would
let me model traffic so that I could "see" how information
flows (often in unexpected ways) and identify pathological
behaviors before deployment.

Has anyone done this sort of thing before? If so, pointers
to techniques? Or, at least, application domains that I can
research...

Thanks!

I used SHEsim http://www.ics.ele.tue.nl/~mgeilen/shesim/shesim.html for a
classroom project to simulate different type of networks on chip. It has a
painful visual editor but end results are nice, if you start with their mesh and
bus examples. You will probably need to use their mesh example.

Thanks! I'll take a look at this and see what it can do...
