We have been developing an overlay construction toolkit called "Overlay Weaver".Algorithm designers can implement structured overlay algorithms in just hundreds of lines of code with the toolkit and improve them rapidly by iterative tests on a single computer. The toolkit enables designers to make fair and large-scale comparisons between new and existing algorithms. Furthermore, the implemented algorithms can work on a real network in addition to the emulator. The toolkit enables algorithms developed through research to be used in applications directly.
