NEPI

NEPI implements a new experiment plane used to perform ns-3 simulations, planetlab and emulation experiments, and, more generally, any experimentation tool used for networking research. Its goal is to make it easier for experimenters to describe the network topology and the configuration parameters, to specify trace collection information, to deploy and monitor experiments, and, finally, collect experiment trace data into a central datastore. NEPI attempts to define a common API to perform all the above-mentioned tasks and allows users to access these features through a simple yet powerful graphical user interface.
