Abstract

The authors outline a method of modeling a data communications network. This network serves military command, control, and communications applications. The model is based on the process-oriented framework of Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling (SLAM II). The model is highly modularized to provide the flexibility needed to add new requirements. The model was used to perform network performance analysis of the underlying DOSSNet (Defense Satellite Communications System Operational Support System Network). It is noted that the results of simulation may lead to useful practical conclusions pertaining to network design and optimal allocation of resources
