Simulator to apply splitting strategies as defense for WFP attacks. It simulates the effects of sending packets over different routes characterized by their latency. Simulator used in the paper https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3372297.3423351. Please refer to the paper for more information regarding the available splitting strategies

File with multi-path circuit latencies. Look at the circuits_latencies_new.txt for knowing how latencies are related to multiple circuits.

Dataset in the wang-format. I.e. a folder containing one file per instance, in which timestamps and directions are described per packet. It can also contain a third column of packet size.

Instances should be named in wang-format as for example 0-0.cell is first instance of the page labeled as 0 and 23-5.cell is the 6th instance of page of label 23

For getting all options and modes, run:

python simulator.py -h 

For simulating a weighted random (WR) and BWR scheduler for three paths with the dataset located in dataset/ and putting the output traces on outfolder/ (must be created before)

##For WR m=3
python simulator.py -p dataset/ -m 3 -o outfolder -s weighted_random -i circuits_latencies_new.txt

##For BWR m=5
python simulator.py -p dataset/ -m 5 -o outfolder -s batched_weighted_random -r 50,70 -a 1,1,1,1,1

Instance files must have the extension .cell. The simulator will produce on the oufolder m (number of paths) files with extension _split_i.cell (for the i-th path), and a file with the extension _join_.cell for the merged trace but after the multi-path effect
