AGENT BASED DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM

The objective of this thesis is to discuss the
creation of an environment that can simulate the
behavior of the Agent based Distributed File System
(ADFS) developed at the Milan Polytechnic and
compare its performances with NFS, currently one of
the most widespread file system available on the
market.
The simulation developed is able to analyze the
behavior of the file system, changing the topology
of the network and connection speed between hosts
and subnets, so that it is possible to change
network connection speed and number of hosts, which
generates a series of tests that verify the most
critical points on the system.
