Package org.cloudbus.cloudsim.network

Provides classes to define network assets, such as different kinds of AbstractSwitch and also the NetworkTopology that can be specified in some standard file format and read using a implementation of TopologyReader.

It also provides class to enable simulation of network package transmission. For more information about the network module, please refer to following publication:

Class Summary

Class	Description
DelayMatrix	This class represents a delay matrix between every pair or nodes inside a network topology, storing every distance between connected nodes.
FloydWarshall	Floyd-Warshall algorithm to calculate the predecessor matrix and the delay between all pairs of nodes.
HostPacket	Represents a packet which travels from one Host to another.
IcmpPacket	Represents a ping (ICMP protocol) packet that can be used to gather information from the network layer.
VmPacket	Represents a packet that travels from a Vm to another, through the virtual network within a Host.
