OverSim Usage

First steps with OverSim:

• change into directory OverSim-20080416/Simulations

• start OverSim by typing

  ../bin/OverSim
  

• choose a simulation run (e.g. run 1: Chord)

• press the Run button in OMNeT++'s main window

• ... watch & enjoy ...

• press the Stop button to pause simulation

• end OverSim by closing OMNeT++'s main window
  (press Yes to invoke finish()-method call in all OMNeT++ modules)

• If you want to simulate large networks like the predefined run 6 invoke OverSim without GUI:

  ../bin/OverSim -UCmdenv -r6
  

Viewing statistics and editing parameters:

• run

  ../bin/overStat.pl omnetpp.sca
  

  and

  ../bin/overStat.pl omnetpp.vec
  

  to view statistics
  (this evaluates omnetpp.sca and omnetpp.vec in the Simulations/ subfolder, so Simulations/ has to be your working directory)

• edit Simulations/omnetpp.ini to change or define new simulation runs
  (default parameters are stored in Simulations/default.ini, parameters are described on the NEDdoc-pages)
