EMIST ESVT Software
Version
3.0*
Overview
The EMIST ESVT (Experiment specification and visualization tools) provides an integrated environment to interact with DETER or EMULAB test-beds and to conduct network security emulation/simulation experiments. The EMIST ESVT is a modular, component-based topology editor, a TCL script generator, a worm experiment designer, a traffic trace data management interface, and a visualization tool for experimental results. First, ESVT offers a topology editor toolbar to draw network topologies including computer/end-host nodes, switch nodes, router nodes, sub-network/Internet interfaces and links. Each of these network components has configurable properties such as bandwidth and link latency, which can be stipulated and modified. ESVT can then generate a TCL script from a designed network topology in several formats: NS/2 format, DETER/EMULAB format without LAN, DETER/EMULAB format with LAN and virtualized nodes. For the experimental traffic trace files, ESVT can convert TCPDUMP trace files into NETFLOW like flow series and save them into MySQL database tables. Finally, ESVT can visualize the resulting experimental traffic by animation, sliding charts and figures, and other user-defined views.
New features in this version:
- Topology file now stored in plain text
format;
- Import of topology from existing NS2/TCL
script files;
- New property fields
added including Name, HardwareID, OSID. TCL
script generation can use user-specified name as the node name instead of
using index number. (Use “Non-virtual LAN” menu option)
- Visualize experimental data using
customized file names.
