Abstract :
In a global project devoted to the realization of a distributed network simulator, we have investigated several ways to optimize the performance of our tool. To allow the comparison of different policies of management of the rollback process implied by the distribution of the simulation, we have developed a specific simulation tool (a simulator of the simulator). We analyse here the structure of this simulator and how we can exploit it to optimize the real simulator
