Dear Pro J. Suárez-Varela, S. Carol-Bosch, K. Rusek, P. Almasan, M. Arias, P. Barlet-Ros, A. Cabellos-Aparicio: Hello Pro J. Suárez-Varela, S. Carol-Bosch, K. Rusek, P. Almasan, M. Arias, P. Barlet-Ros, A. Cabellos-Aparicio, I am sorry to disturb you in your busy schedule. I'am a student of Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology from China. Recently, Iam learning how to do route optimization with grahp neural networks. Your paper RouteNet: Leveraging Graph Neural Networks for network modeling and optimization in SDN gives me great inspiration. I ran the model code after reading your paper, but I can't see how much about the model regarding the input and output dimensions, for example, the shape of link_inputs=(? ,? ,32). I would like to ask about this? What is the size of the How can I can see it in the code? No matter whether you help me or not, best wishes to you. I would appreciate it if you could help me. Thanks and regards. Sincerely, Xiaolan, Xie 2023/2/19

Help -- Routenet datasets request
by chuheridangwu2000 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hi,I am a student from China,and I read your paper "Extending RouteNet to model more complex networking scenarios" recently, which introduces an extended Routenet with node queue. And I want to use the model in my work, however i could not find your datasets for this or trained model in your github web. Could you send me your datasets and trained model used in the paper? I really need them. Thank you in advance,sincerely. | | chuheridangwu2000 | | chuheridangwu2000(a)163.com | 签名由网易邮箱大师定制

demo notebook
by Ayman Khiralden 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

Hello, I am a student, and I am trying to recreate the paper, to see the results I have tried to use the notebook that you provided, there is something that I don't understand, I see that you are normalizing the delay and traffic in the parse, and after you get the predictions you are normalizing them using: predctions = 0.54*preds + 0.37 why is that? and if I want to predict the jitter for example do I need to train another network with the labels being jitter? thank you Ayman Khiralden

How to use your trained_delay_models in ignnition?
by 李浩杰 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Dear professors:       I just read the code you posted on GitHub, and I want to use the ignnition to train a RouteNet-GNN model. I see that you have already a trained_delay model, which is in .ckpt format. However, when I wanted to use your trained model, I found that the ignnition must use a ".hdf5" models. How can I transform a ".ckpt" to a ".hdf5"? Can you help me?      Looking forward to your reply! Thanks!      A student who wants to build a RouteNet GNN model.

Inquiry about dataset in Knowledge Defined Networking
by Nandana Tiwari 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Hello Hope you're doing well. I recently found the Knowledge Defined networking repository of datasets and I'm very interested in using them to conduct link fault recovery research in SDN. I understand that the v0 datasets have 500 rows and I have come across the GitHub repository that explains the datasets however it has not clearly mentioned what all attributes are captured. From the repository, I could only find 11 attributes and the dataset has about 1961 columns. If you could please help provide me with information as to what these columns are, I would find it extremely helpful. Thank you so much! -- Kind regards Nandana

Delivery of the results
by JAIME ALBERTO VERGARA TEJADA 04 Sep '20

Hi, I hope everything is going well in Spain these days. Currently, We are working in our model to take part in the challenge and we have a question about the format of the results we have to deliver. As we understand you will provide a series of parameters of the simulations you made on OMNeT++, each simulation will have N*(N-1) (every source-destination pair) delays we have to predict, so, we know that we have to provide a CSV with our predictions, but in what order should these predictions be displayed in the file? -- Regards Jaime Vergara Departamento Ingeniería Electrónica y de Telecomunicaciones Universidad de Antioquia -- "La información aquí contenida es para uso exclusivo de la persona o entidad de destino.

by kyang19 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Hi Professors: Glad to read your papers relevant to RouteNet. It’s a great job. Is it possible for me to ask for the datasets used in the paper titiled “Towards more realistic network models based on GNNs”. I found that they were not available by now in your GitHub. Best regards, Qing-Qing Yang

Re: [Kdn-users] Fw:Re: asking for Dataset
by José Suárez-Varela 19 Feb '20

Dear Zeyu, Each "tar.gz" file in the datasets (e.g., results_nsfnetbw_10-12_Routing-SP-k-0_0_124.tar.gz) contains 125 simulations with a given routing configuration and a traffic intensity range (<lower lambda max>-<upper lambda max>). Then, for a given traffic intensity we generate 125 different traffic matrices and make one simulation for each of them. The method to generate these matrices is described in [1] (Section 4.1). Each line in the "simulationResults.txt" file contains all the data resulting from every simulation. In other words, all the data of a simulation is flattened into a vector (hereafter "line"). Then, the expression you mention points to the positions where the values calculated by our simulator are (within the "simulationResults.txt" file). Maybe it would be more correct to rewrite the expression as: bandwidth[src_node][dst_node] = line[(src_node∗n+dst_node)*3] If you want to extract the whole traffic matrix (i.e., bandwidth[:][:]), you can make a 2-layer loop to evaluate all the combinations of "src_node" and "dst_node" in the network (whose range is [0-13] in the case of the nsfnet dataset). Regarding the naming of the routing configurations, basically there are two types of routings: "SP" are variants of the shortest path configuration, while "W" includes longer paths than in the case of "SP". In this context, "k_x" is just an identifier to differentiate every "SP" or "W" configuration. However, it doesn't have any meaning about the generation process. Lastly, "0_124" indicates that in this file there are 125 simulations in total (i.e., [0-124]). I hope I answered all your questions.
