Network Topology Generator (NTG) is dedicated to network topology generation and analysis. It can be used to solve general graph optimization problems.
NTG allows the creation of random topologies according to the latest accurate graph models in order to study the impact of routing algorithms on the effectiveness of transmission protocols used by data communications.
Among NTG possibilities:
Computation of routes between network nodes (Dijkstra, Bellman-Ford, flooding, BFS, DFS, Prim, Floyd-Warshall…),
Computation of basic statistics as Node Degree Distribution, Joint Degree Distribution and Congestion Map directly on the generated graphs,
Analysis of the global connectivity of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs and VANETs),
Comparison between single path and multiple paths routing algorithms,
Efficiency performance of topology discovery mechanisms according to different research approaches (topology map from a discovery process starting from single or multiple sources).
