Abstract

We present NECO, a high-performance simulation framework dedicated to the evaluation of network coding based protocols. Its main features include (1) definition of graphs representing the topology (which can be generated randomly or pre-defined by means of a standard representation), (2) modular specification of network coding protocols, (3) visualization of the network operation and (4) extraction of key statistics. The simulator is entirely written in Python and can be easily extended to account for extra functionalities.
