" Implementation of the Pastry Distributed Hash Table Lookup Service over the Ns-3 Network Simulator "

This B.Sc. thesis report documents an implementation of the Pastry Distributed Hash Table (DHT) for the Network Simulator 3 (NS-3) simulation environment. To our knowledge, this thesis constitutes the first and only effort to cover the lack of any Pastry implementation for the NS-3 discrete event simulator. Given that NS-3 comes as an open source distribution, it is expected to meet the high demands of the research community and to follow the success and popularity of its predecessor NS-2. Thus, the contribution of this thesis is to provide an efficient C++ implementation to the NS community for research purposes. Moreover, for the sake of code clarity, ease of use and extendability of the work presented here, this thesis is further supported with a separate code manual and system documentation.
