Abstract

An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) routing protocol simulator has been developed to provide a means for researchers and network planners to analyze the behavior of ATM network routing protocols. The simulator is a tool that gives the user an interactive modeling environment with a user-friendly user interface. With this tool the user can create different network topologies, control component parameters, measure network performance, and log data from simulation runs. This document provides instructions for creating network configurations, specifying component parameters, and controlling the display of the simulation results. The design of the simulator is also provided to guide the user, who wishes to modify the simulator source code, to accomodate network components not previously defined, or to change the behavior of components already defined.
