A Packet Communication Network Synthesis and Analysis System.
Abstract
As communication networks become larger and more complicated, analytic modeling becomes increasingly more difficult and simulation plays an important role in performance evaluations. A key challenge is to be able to develop a flexible, computationally efficient and user friendly simulation package that can be used to analyze and design complex military communication networks that often operate in highly stressed environments. Under a PHASE-I SBIR contract, ST*AR Corporation has defined the requirements for a state-of-the-art network simulator, developed a prototype network simulator, demonstrated the feasibility of using the simulator for studying routing algorithms in a packet switched network, investigated computationally efficient techniques for network simulation, and identified several research issues that need to be addressed in the Phase II effort. Results of the Phase I efforts are described in this report.
