RouteCraft Sim
A routing simulator implementing and comparing pathfinding strategies under changing network conditions.
01
The problem
Routing algorithms are usually compared on paper, not under load.
02
How I approached it
A simulation harness runs each strategy against the same generated conditions so differences come from the algorithm, not the scenario.
03
The outcome
Comparable results across strategies.
