libyuma can be used in simulated environments where each node has transactional configuration interface with a YANG model. One such simulation tool is OMNeT++. It provides modular discrete event simulation environment. Integrating YANG/NETCONF support in this environment can provide a standard configuration and monitoring interface for the simulation models.

Project proposal

TITLE: "Deterministic Network Modeling with YANG and Automated Discrete Event System Simulation of the Models with OMNeT++".

BACKGROUND: With YANG (RFC7950) model of the network topology - ietf-network-topology.yang (RFC8345) one can specify the nodes and the links and by using model of the nodes ietf-network-bridge-flows.yang (draft) one can specify the behavior of each node part of the network. Network instance data conforming to the 2 models can be used for simulation run using readily available tools like OMNeT++ if there is tool converting the instance data file (e.g. my-network-001.xml to my-network-001.ned and C++ implementation of OMNeT++ model conforming to ietf-network-bridge.yang).

GOALS: 1- command line too that can convert *.xml data conforming to  ietf-network-topology.yang to *.ned, 2- ietf_network_bridge.cc OMNeT++ module implementation of the behavior specified in the ietf-network-bridge.yang model that reads the configuration added as parameter string to the *.ned file.
