prisma-v2: Extension to Cloud Overlay Networks

In this paper, we present prisma-v2, a new release of prisma, a Packet Routing Simulator for Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning. prisma-v2 brings a new set of features. First, it allows simulating overlay network topologies, by integrating virtual links. Second, this release offers the possibility to simulate control packets, which allows to better evaluate the overhead of the network protocol. Last, we integrate the modules along with the core (ns-3) to a docker container, so that it can be run in any machine or platform. prisma-v2 is, to the best of our knowledge, the first realistic overlay network simulation playground that offers to the community the possibility to test and evaluate new network protocols.
