📊 Detailed Comparison

1. Simpy Integration

Paul's Approach

# simulator_simpy.py - Full simulator refactor
class SimulatorSimPy:
    def __init__(self, scenario, protocol_name):
        self.env = simpy.Environment()
        self.scenario = scenario
        # ... complete refactor of entire simulator

    def run(self):
        # Runs 3000+ rounds with SimPy
        # Returns aggregated metrics

Pros:

• Complete rewrite to Simpy
• 3000+ rounds simulation
• Clean integration

Cons:

• Completely replaces existing code
• No fallback to original simulator
• Breaking change to existing workflow

Sorti's Approach

# simpy_simulator.py - Lightweight wrapper
class EventDrivenNetworkSimulator:
    def __init__(self, protocol, nodes, round_duration=1.0):
        self.env = simpy.Environment()
        self.protocol = protocol  # Wraps existing protocol

    def run_simulation(self, num_rounds):
        self.env.process(self.simulation_process(num_rounds))
        self.env.run()
        return self.protocol.get_metrics(num_rounds)

Pros:

• Non-intrusive wrapper
• Preserves existing code
• Backwards compatible
• Optional Simpy usage
• Modular architecture

Cons:

• Not as aggressive refactor
• Less complete Simpy adoption

Winner: ⚖️ Tie - Different philosophies

• Paul: Full integration (better for Simpy purity)

💡 Recommendation

If merging both branches:

1. Use Sorti's comprehensive approach as PRIMARY

   • Includes all improvements
   • Better documentation
   • Safer integration
   • More features

2. Consider cherry-picking Paul's full Simpy refactor IF:

   • More aggressive Simpy adoption desired
   • Full simulator replacement acceptable
   • Breaking changes are acceptable
   • 3000+ rounds specifically needed

Best Combined Approach:

• Merge Sorti's branch FIRST (more complete)
• Then optionally integrate Paul's simulator_simpy.py as alternative
• Keep both approaches available for flexibility
• Document both in report

---

Overall Assessment: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sorti's approach is more comprehensive, safer, and production-ready while maintaining compatibility with existing code. Paul's approach is stronger in pure Simpy adoption but narrower in scope.

Recommended Grade: 92-96% (with Sorti's approach)
