Abstract
Software simulators have often been used to test and validate new protocols, but the high bandwidth of newly emerging ATM networks implies prohibitive memory requirements. This paper describes several simulation techniques we have devised as part of the Thunder and Lightning project to build 40 and 100 gigabit per second ATM networks
