[orbit-user] xmax and ymax

[Giovanni Di Stasi]

Hi everybody,

I've noticed that when xmax and ymax (in the testbeds table) are set to high values the execution of the experiment gets a lot longer. It seems (I'm not 100% sure, because I checked this a long time ago), that the status of all the nodes (i.e. nodes from [1,1] to [xmax,ymax]) is checked, even if the nodes actually installed are just a few.

Unfortunately, we are forced to use those high values for xmax and ymax because the ip addresses of nodes are an external input (therefore the coordinates of the nodes cannot start from [1,1]).

Do you have a quick fix for this or some suggestions?

Thanks,
Giovanni
