Research community on distributed systems, and in particular on peer-to-peer systems, needs tools for evaluating their own protocols and services, as well as against other protocols with the same precondictions. Since a (TCP/IP) experimental evaluation is not always feasible, simulation tools appeared. Nevertheless, the vast majority of them are ad-hoc customized simulators [3] and they are not for general overlay evaluation purposes, poorly documented or not extensible to other protocols and settings. Thus, in this paper we are mainly interested in extensible, scalable, high-level overlay and services simulation frameworks. In particular, we focus on structured (e.g. Chord, Pastry) and unstructured (e.g. Gnutella) peer-to-peer systems and services simulation onto our simulator PlanetSim.
