Most current approaches of parallel simulation focus on building new parallel simulation engines that require the development of new models and software. An alternate, emerging approach is to extend sequential simulators ...

The memory resources required by network simulations can grow quadratically with size of the simulated network. In simulations that use routing tables at each node to perform per-hop packet forwarding, the storage ...

We discuss an approach for creating a federated network simulation that eases the burdens on the simulator user that typically arise from more traditional methods for defining space-parallel simulations. Previous approaches ...

The ad-hoc methodology that is prevalent in today’s testing and evaluation of network intrusion detection algorithms and systems makes it difficult to compare different algorithms and approaches. After conducting a ...

Simulation has become the evaluation method of choice for many areas of computer networking research. When designing new or revised transport protocols, queuing methods, routing protocols, (just to name a few), a common ...

We introduce and discuss a methodology for heterogeneous simulations of computer networks using the dynamic simulation backplane. This methodology allows for exchanging of protocol information between simulators across ...

A number of methods exist that can be used to create simulation models for measuring the performance of computer networks. The most commonly used method is packet level simulation, which models the detailed behavior of ...
