I'm Claudiu, a second year PhD student in CS at Sapienza University (Rome, Italy) and I would like to work on your GSOC idea to build a VB-based simulator for OONI. My main research topics are network neutrality and broadband measurement and I'm currently working on a project on traffic shaping detection. [...]
Hi,
You've seen NetKit-based TorLab, right? http://minerva.netgroup.uniroma2.it/discreet/browser/torlab/trunk/INSTALL http://list.dia.uniroma3.it/pipermail/netkit.users/2007-November/000313.html Outdated, but perhaps similar to what you're talking about doing?
Besides TorLab, there's also a Java-based simulator, which is somewhat similar. Sorry, I always forget the name of it.
Why VB? And do you mean VB or VB.NET? At least the latter might work on Linux via Mono. Anyway, VB seems rather a strange language choice for this community, which seems to prefer Python (Stems) or Java (JTorCtl) for this sort of thing.
