Abstract

A substantial number of massive large-scale applications re- quire scalable underlying network topologies. Nowadays structured Peer-to-Peer overlay networks meet these require- ments very well. But there is still a need to decide which of these overlay networks is most suitable for providing the best possible performance for a certain application. This pa- per describes SimCon - a simulation environment for over- lay networks and large-scale applications. SimCon allows the comparison of different overlay networks with respect to predefned metrics derived from requirements of the consid- ered application. This approach allows determining which overlay network meets the needs of a given application best, which in turn is a great support for developers of large-scale applications.
