-  * '''Flexibility''': The simulator allows to simulate both structured and unstructured overlay networks (currently ''Chord'', ''Pastry'', ''Koorde'', ''Broose'', and ''GIA'' are implemented). The modular design and use of the Common API facilitate the extension with new features or protocols. Module behavior can easily be customized by specify parameters in a human readable configuration file.

   * '''Base Overlay Class''': The base overlay class facilitates the implementation of structured peer-to-peer protocols by providing a RPC interface, a generic lookup class and a common API key-based routing interface to the application.
 
+  * '''Reuse of Simulation Code''': The different implementations of overlay protocols are reusable for real network applications, so that researchers can validate the simulator framework results by comparing them to the results from real-world test networks like [http://www.planet-lab.org/ PlanetLab]. Therefore, the simulation framework is able to handle and assemble real network packets and to communicate with other implementations of the same overlay protocol.

 This is a list of features we're currently working on, which will be available in one of the next releases of !OverSim:
 
-  * '''Additional overlay protocols''': At the moment we're working on implementations of ''Kademlia'' and other overlay protocols as well as several Application Layer Multicast protocols.
