NAME

       cgrfetch - Visualize CGR simulations

SYNOPSIS

       cgrfetch [OPTIONS] DEST-NODE

DESCRIPTION

       cgrfetch uses CGR to simulate sending a bundle from the local node to DEST-NODE. It traces
       the execution of CGR to generate graphs of the routes that were considered and the routes
       that were ultimately chosen to forward along. No bundle is sent during the simulation.

       A JSON representation of the simulation is output to OUTPUT-FILE. The representation
       includes parameters of the simulation and a structure for each considered route, which in
       turn includes calculated parameters for the route and an image of the contact graph.

       The dot(1) tool from the Graphviz package is used to generate the contact graph images and
       is required for cgrfetch(1). The base64(1) tool from coreutils is used to embed the images
       in the JSON and is also required.

OPTIONS

       DEST-NODE
           The final destination to route to. To be useful, it should be a node that exists in
           the contact plan.

       -q  Disable trace message output.

       -j  Disable JSON output.

       -m  Use a minimum-latency extended COS for the bundle. This ends up sending the bundle to
           all proximate nodes.

       -t DISPATCH-OFFSET
           Request a dispatch time of DISPATCH-OFFSET seconds from the time the command is run
           (default: 0).

       -e EXPIRATION-OFFSET
           Set the bundle expiration time to EXPIRATION-OFFSET seconds from the time the command
           is run (default: 3600).

       -s BUNDLE-SIZE
           Set the bundle payload size to BUNDLE-SIZE bytes (default: 0).

       -o OUTPUT-FILE
           Send JSON to OUTPUT-FILE (default: stdout).

       -p OUTDUCT-PROTO
           Use OUTDUCT-PROTO as the outduct protocol (default: udp).

       -n OUTDUCT-NAME
           Use OUTDUCT-NAME as the outduct name (default: *).

EXAMPLES

       cgrfetch 8
           Simulate CGR with destination node 8 and dispatch time equal to the current time.

       cgrfetch 8 -t 60
           Do the same with a dispatch time 60 seconds in the future.
