What is an OD file

OD files mostly belong to Mascopt by INRIA/UNSA. OD is a file used by the open-source Mascopt project that provides a set of tools for network optimization problems like routing, grooming, survivability, or virtual network design.

  • File generation: When generating network diagnostics files using the GOd format, two files will be generated: a GRAPH file and an OD file. The networks are represented by graphs so the files represent the graphs themselves, and the requests, respectively.
  • File structure: The OD file contains the request on the graph which it describes. It is written in ASCII, with some special markdown: "c" is used at the beginning of a line to denote a comment, and "r" is used at the beginning of a line to denote a request. The requests a listed one after another, with comments possible at any line in the file.
  • Related associations: OD could also refer to a Office diagnostics file. It's usually auto-saved after an error and can be opened easily via a text editor after renaming it and changing its extension to TXT.

  2. Check the Header: Open the file in a text editor or hex viewer to inspect the first bytes:
    • Readable XML tags often imply a Mascopt data file.
    • "PK" indicates a zipped archive.
    • Binary gibberish suggests a proprietary format.
  3. Use the Original Software: Opening it usually requires the original program, like Mascopt (by INRIA/UNSA) or an XML editor; if uncertain, ask the sender.
  4. Use this Webpage: Drag and drop your file into our viewer to detect the format, extract readable text/metadata, and preview when possible.
