Changelog

3.4.1

  • Updated test environment to Focal linux (from Xenial) to allow dash and dash-cytoscape package import in CI/CD for visualization
    • Allows for moving WeatherMap from beta to production in future
    • It’s no longer necessary to explicitly install the visualization requirements separately
  • Heavy updates for docs
  • Implemented black code formatting for local commits and in Travis CI/CD pipeline
  • Implemented standard column name for RSVP LSP attribute to describe a manually assigned metric:
    • FlexModel had lsp_metric column name in docstrings and examples
    • PerformanceModel had manual_metric column name in docstrings and examples
    • Standardized column name to manual_metric
    • This was a purely cosmetic change as the actual manual_metric is based on the column’s order in the table, not the specific column name

3.4.0

  • This build, while functional, was yanked from pypi for reasons related to troubleshooting a new CI/CD pipeline. Let’s just say there was some drama around that, and the migration to travis-ci.com. These things happen.
  • 3.4.0 features moved to 3.4.1 build

3.3.1

  • Fixed bug in FlexModel to account for complex topology scenario involving ECMP demand paths with multipe IGP shortcut LSPs and parallel links
  • Added spacing_factor as a WeatherMap configurable parameter
  • Added another test to functional tests within test_parallel_link_model for complex topology

3.3

  • Import of the WeatherMap class must be done from pyNTM.weathermap instead of directly from pyNTM. This prevents a warning message that is otherwise superficial unless you are using the WeatherMap class

3.2

  • Fixed bug in WeatherMap class that caused scripts with WeatherMap to run 2x and to not be able to run a WeatherMap class live from the python3 CLI

3.1

  • Removed automatic call of load_model_file class methods performing update_simulation() call automatically.

3.0

  • WeatherMap class added as beta feature to provide interactive visualization of network topology. This is a beta feature and is not undergoing unit testing. This feature is supported in the python3 interpreter, but not in the pypy3 interpreter. This feature gives a very interactive and informative visualization of the topology
  • path_detail Demand property support in all Model classes; provides clarity on how much traffic is passing on a given Demand’s path and how much of that traffic transits each component in the path
  • Python 3.5 no longer supported
  • Python 3.8 support added to unit/functional testing
  • load_model_file class methods now perform update_simulation() call automatically. The update_simulation() call is only necessary to run after making a change to the topology after the model file has been loaded

2.1

  • Enforcing tab-separated data in model data files (used to allow spaces or tabs between data entries)
  • FlexModel class allows IGP RSVP shortcuts
  • FlexModel and PerformanceModel classes allow/honor RSVP LSP manual metrics
  • Made load_model_file for FlexModel and PerformanceModel classes more forgiving for number of lines allowed between tables

2.0

  • Made version 1.7 into major version 2.0 to account for possible backwards compatibilty

1.7

  • Renamed Model class to PerformanceModel
  • Renamed Parallel_Link_Model class to FlexModel
  • Optimization: general 18-25% performance improvement when measured by time to converge
  • Moved common code from PerformanceModel and FlexModel to _MasterModel parent class
  • Maintained unit testing coverage at 95%
  • Cleaned up documentation/docstrings

1.6

  • Added support for multiple links between nodes (Parallel_Link_Model)
  • Cached parallel_lsp_groups in Model and Parallel_Link_Model objects (performance optimization)
  • Added check for multiple links between nodes in Model object (not allowed)
  • Added Parent Class _MasterModel to hold common defs for Model and Parallel_Link_Model subclasses
  • Added simulation_diagnostics def in _MasterModel that gives potentially useful diagnostic info about the simulation results
  • Simple user interface (beta feature) supports RSVP LSPs

1.5

  • Updated code to account for networkx
  • Improved some docstrings

1.4

  • updated requirements.txt to allow use of beta features

1.3

  • improved docstring for Model load_model_file class method
  • updated requirements
  • fixed bugs in beta features: visualization and simple UI
  • updated unit testing

1.2

  • added shared-risk link group (SRLG) support for Nodes and Interfaces
  • added performance optimizations
  • simplified sections of code

1.1

  • added configured, fixed setup bandwidth capability on RSVP LSPs
  • made small performance optimizations

1.0

  • first release including pypi inetgration

previous releases

  • versions prior to v1.0 were not released to pip, but distributed as a github directory
  • initially a py2 version was made available here
  • the py2 version is not maintained anymore in favor of the current py3 releases
