It is highly extensible, yet simple and easy to use. A variety of simulated and real networks are supported, and a library of fault tolerance algorithms has been implemented. The network interface hides the details of the environment from the algorithm. A variety of networks is supported.
Easy configuration Configuring distributed applications is a non-trivial task.
In Neko, all configuration information is centralized in one place and distributed to all hosts upon startup. The same application code might be run as a simulation or as an application on a real network. Back to the Neko home page. 05 Feb 2001.
