摘要
Open SimMPLS 是多协议标签交换（MPLS）网络的开源模拟器，20 年来一直在教育、研究和工业领域发挥着重要作用。它支持软件工程、通信网络和学习模型研究，为学术项目和出版物提供帮助。尽管采用了新技术，但 MPLS 对于流量工程仍至关重要，可确保视频流和云服务等高需求应用的服务质量（QoS）。它还通过管理虚拟化环境中的数据路径和资源，支持软件定义网络（SDN）和网络功能虚拟化（NFV）。开放式 SimMPLS 的影响力体现在社区贡献和 MPLS 研究与应用方面的持续研究中。
Leveraging OpenSimMPLS: A simulation platform for GoS/MPLS networks in research and education
Open SimMPLS, an open-source simulator for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks, has been crucial in education, research, and industry for 20 years. It supports software engineering, communication networks, and learning model research, aiding academic projects and publications. Despite new technologies, MPLS remains vital for traffic engineering, ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) for high-demand applications like video streaming and cloud services. It also supports Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) by managing data paths and resources in virtualized environments. Open SimMPLS’s impact is evident in community contributions and ongoing studies in MPLS research and application.
期刊介绍：
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
