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

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.
