Abstract

A graphical tool is presented for the analysis and simulation of communication networks. The tool provides a user interface based on windows, icons, and command menus that allows users to define the network topology and attributes easily. Application programs that simulate or analyze some network aspect, interact with the tool through a program interface that provides a set of functions for reading the network information stored during the definition phase and presenting their results, either in textural or in graphical form
