[javasim-general] Questions??

[sarvesh bagla]

Hi,

I'm a graduate student at CMU and am doing some research on P2P Networks. I 
wish to simulate a large network with say 10000 nodes and want to be able 
to change their bandwidth and other characteristics dynamically while the 
simulation is on. Before finalizing JavaSim to simulate this, i would like 
to know the following:-

1) Will i have to manually specify the links of each of the 10000 nodes 
using adjMatrix_? Is there an easier way to randomly assigning links to 
each node?

2) Again, if i want to change the bandwidth of the nodes during simulation, 
do i have to change it manually for each of the nodes one at a time using 
Tcl?

3)Rather than using Tcl to externally change the bandwidth and other 
characteristics of each node during simulation, is it possible to build the 
logic into the node itself so that it may randomly change its bandwidth 
internally.

I need to know what Javasim can/can't do for me and any input on this would 
be really appreciated.

thankyou,
