ProtoPeer is a toolkit for rapid distributed systems prototyping. You write the application once and then evaluate it either in simulation or in the actual live network deployment. Switching between the simulated and live modes is as simple as changing a few options in the config file without making any changes to the application code. What's done for you:

• Multi-threaded NIO-based networking, message serialization, message queuing
• Measurement infrastructure with system-wide measurement aggregation and on-the-fly computation of basic stats: sum, avg, max, min, percentile
• Tools for event injection and managing the evaluation scenarios
• Network models for both delay-bound and bandwidth-bound applications
