modular network trace analysis
In this paper we present EDAT, a tool designed for the analysis of trace files from network simulations and experiments. The EDAT framework encapsulates analysis steps in extensible operators. These can be arbitrarily combined to a flow-based analysis. The core of EDAT is a library of these operators implemented as classes in the scripting language Ruby. For ease of use, these can be visually assembled by means of a graphical user interface that also allows to configure and execute these operators. The results can be plotted in graphs that are directly usable in scientific publications.
