Abstract
Simulators are a commonly used tool in peer-to-peer sys-tems research. However, they may not be able to capture all the details of a system operating in a live in the net-work. Transitioning from simulation to the actual system implementation is a non-trivial and time-consuming task. We present ProtoPeer, a peer-to-peer systems pro-totyping toolkit that allows for switching between the event-driven simulation and live network deployment without changing any of the application code. ProtoPeer exports a set of APIs for message passing, message queu-ing, timer operations as well as overlay routing and man-aging the overlay neighbors. Users can plug in their own custom implementations of most of the parts of ProtoPeer including custom network models for simulation and cus-tom message passing over transports other than the de-fault TCP/UDP. Applications implemented using ProtoPeer are divided into modules each encapsulating a separate piece of the message passing functionality. The modules can be reused and composed to achieve the desired system be-havior. ProtoPeer has a unified system-wide infrastruc-ture for measurement logging and aggregation, event in-jection and managing evaluation scenarios. The simula-tor scales to tens of thousands of peers and gives accurate predictions closely matching the live network measure-ments. 1
