Abstract
As data networks have become larger, higher speed and more complex, there has arisen a growing need for advanced modeling, management and planning tools which will assist network operators maintain and improve network performance. This paper describes the analytical techniques used in a system tool that will simulate and analyze packet switched networks carrying bursty traffic and which can be used for a variety of networks and services such as frame relay, SMDS or B-ISDN. This network tool is based upon models of network elements. The information needed to drive the tool and describe its elements will vary from detailed to sketchy. Some information will be derived from historical measurements and some from expected characteristics of users based on responses to a questionnaire answered at the time of subscription to the data service.
