The objective of this thesis is to discuss the creation of an environment that can simulate the behavior of the Agent based Distributed File System (ADFS) developed at the Milan Polytechnic and compare its performances with NFS, currently one of the most widespread file system available on the market. The simulation developed is able to analyze the behavior of the file system, changing the topology of the network and connection speed between hosts and subnets, so that it is possible to change network connection speed and number of hosts, which generates a series of tests that verify the most...
