Add Logging for Simulation Results

[Nandika-A]

🚀Feature Request

Description

Please describe the problem you are trying to solve.
Currently, the simulator does not provide any functionality to save or log the simulation results for further analysis. Users must manually monitor the output during the simulation, making it difficult to retain data for review or comparisons after the simulation has ended.

---

Why is this feature important to you?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Logging simulation results is crucial for users who want to analyze performance metrics like throughput, latency, and packet loss after the simulation. It is especially useful for comparing different congestion control algorithms or for debugging purposes. Without logging, users have no way to retain detailed results for future reference or deeper analysis.

---

Describe the solution you'd like

Please describe the desired behavior.

• Implement a logging mechanism that automatically saves key simulation metrics (e.g., throughput, packet loss, latency, congestion window size) to a file.
• Users should be able to choose the output format (e.g., .csv, .json).
• The log file should include:
  • Timestamps
  • Algorithm used
  • Configured network conditions (e.g., packet loss rate, latency)
  • Results of the simulation (e.g., packet loss percentage, average latency)

Example log file structure in CSV format:

Timestamp, Algorithm, Packet Loss (%), Average Latency (ms), Throughput (Mbps)
2024-10-07 10:23:45, TCP, 1.5, 50, 100
2024-10-07 10:24:10, Cubic, 2.0, 55, 95

Additional context

Please describe alternative solutions or features you have considered.

• One alternative could be providing an option to export the results directly from the UI after the simulation, but automatic logging ensures that users don't miss important data.
• Another enhancement could be integrating a downloadable report feature summarizing the simulation with visual charts.
