Abstract :
We describe ATM Simulator (AS), a simulation-based traffic analysis tool for ATM networks and related protocols. Concentrating on basic problems of acceleration of an event driven simulator, we explain our solutions for the realization of specific simulator features and present several useful implementation tips and tricks. We bring solutions for efficient modeling of CBR (constant bit rate) and VBR (variable bit rate) traffic generators and network components. In the end we present a few simulation results in order to show the simulator performance and future development directions
