Deborah (DElay BOund Rating AlgoritHm) is a Network Calculus tool which computes Least Upped Delay Bound (LUDB) and Lower Bound (LB) in network tandems.

Contents

Download and compile

The latest version of the software can be downloaded here:

The C++ sources can be compiled using the GCC compiler 3.x or 4.x series. It is known to work on most Linux distributions and on Windows using MinGW+MSys [1] and Cygwin [2].

   tar -zxf deborah.tgz
   cd deborah
   ./configure
   make

By default, the executable will be stored into the ./src subdirectory. Please check that the compiler options used in the Makefile are suitable for your system, especially the optimization flags -march=xxx and -Ox. The ./optimized directory contains a Makefile which will generate a binary tuned for Intel i686-class processors and level two code optimizations (-O2).

Usage

You can obtain the inline help by typing:

   ./deborah --help

The distribution archive contains a few sample tandem configuration files which can be found into the ./scenarios directory. You can give Deborah a quick try with:

   ./deborah scenarios/tree-k3-l2.conf --lb --ludb

This will compute both LUDB and Lower Bound on a balanced tree having K=3 and L=2. Tandem configurations can be written as text files using a very simple syntax; just take a look at the samples provided.

Changelog

v0.91 (September 16, 2010):

  • Implemented Single Tandem Analysis (STA) method for non-nested topologies.
  • Accurate performance timing and bug fixes

v0.90 (July 31, 2009):

  • Added support for LUDB analysis of non-nested tandems
  • Minor optimizations and bug fixes in LUDB-related code

v0.85 (October 23, 2008):

  • Initial Deborah release
