Abstract
An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network simulator has been
developed to provide a means for researchers and network planners
to analyze the behavior of ATM networks without the expense of
building a real network. The simulator is a tool that gives the
user an interactive modeling environment with a graphical user
interface. With this tool the user may create different network
topologies, control component parameters, measure network activity,
and log data from simulation runs. Part 1 of this document is the
user's manual for the simulator; it includes instructions for
creating network configurations, specifying component parameters,
manipulating the display, logging and saving measurements, and
post-processing of data. Part 2 has been prepared as a guide for
the user who wishes to modify the simulator software to accommodate
network components not previously defined or to change the behavior
of components already defined.
