MPLS Simulator

As I posted  our work on MPLS simulator, there are many questions on the tool.
I think it's better to reply those questions at once.
(forgive me for not replying your questions one by one)

Eric Wong> I am a student working on MPLS support for diffserv.
                I wonder if it is possible to try out your simulator.

I am sorry, we did not implement diffserv feature yet.
 

Paul Traina <[email protected]> Your simulator may prove far more useful
                                        if you add RSVP support, since that is in much greater deployment than
                                        CR-LDP, despite the CR-LDP hype.
We did not implement RSVP also.

Lloyd Wood <[email protected]> There's already an RSVP implementation for ns.
                                                        Why reinvent the wheel?

Right, there is an RSVP implementation in NS.
But the implementation should be modified a lot for being used for MPLS simulator,
since the RSVP in NS is nomad RSVP, not the extended one for MPLS.
We do not have plan to add RSVP-extension in near future.
Our primary concern is CR-LDP and traffic engineering.
But I hope some others should work on RSVP extension od MPLS simulator.

George Swallow <[email protected]> Does it support explicitly routed label switch paths?

Yes, our simulator has primitive functionality for explicitly routed LSP.
we defined primitives for defining a list of node though which the ER-LSP is setup.

And all other questions are concerning on when the tool will be available.
I think the first version will be available in a month.

Thanks all of you for having interest our tool.
