SNAPE
The SNAPE (Simulated Network Assisted by a Prediction Environment) simulator, developed in Python, acts on two levels.
First, it is a managed peer-to-peer network simulator for video on demand (VoD). VoD requests are issued by a request generator, and processed by a central server (SN). This server is coupled to a PostgreSQL database containing all the information on the network.
Second, SNAPE offers a prediction of future VoD requests. Thus, various resource allocation algorithms are evaluated therein before being used by the central server.
