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.
