We propose a standard resource-constrained device-focused load-sharing simulation framework that is modular, extendable and integrates with existing general-purpose simulation tools. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we implement the framework in OMNeT++ and investigate the performance of several traditional load-sharing algorithms. We also propose a novel heuristics-based space-efficient load-sharing algorithm and find that this approach improves the fairness in task distribution across the network.
