“…Thus it may seem surprising that a new simulation model is needed. Although hundreds of simulators have probably been written, only a few of them are generally available to other researchers (for example, see [19,26] and [14]). In addition, three books, [27,28,29], and some commercial simulation packages, such as the OPNET modeler [30], include complete Ethernet simulation models.…”

“…The primary difficulty with using existing simulation models is their accuracy. Some models, such as the SMPL Ether model in [27] and Netsim [26], do not include key features like packet queueing at each station. Others, such as [28], do support packet queueing but restrict the traffic sources to be Poisson with the same rate at each station.…”

“…NetSim, developed at MIT, is described in [18] and is available from [19] (note that NetSim is not related to the Netsim of [26]). NetSim is an X-windows-based simulation framework that can be used to &dquo;simulate anything that can be modeled by a network of components that send messages to one another&dquo; [19].…”

The Design of a Station-Centric Network Model for Evaluating Changes to the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Standard

Local area networks allow multiple computers to communicate within a single building or area. The IEEE 802.3 standard defines Ethernet, the most widely used LAN technology. The IEEE 802.3 working group is reviewing possible additions to the standard. The Binary Logarithmic Arbitration Method (BLAM) defines an enhanced medium access control (MAC) algorithm that reduces packet delays, improves fairness and better supports multimedia applications. Gigabit Ethernet defines another set of changes to the MAC algorithm to support operation at 1000-Mbps rates. In both cases, careful simulation modeling studies were needed since the behavior of Ethernet can be sensitive to minor changes in the algorithm. This paper presents a station-centric Ethernet model that is now being used to evaluate the performance of BLAM and a proposed collision-truncating repeater for Gigabit Ethernet. This allows for detailed modeling of station behavior to accurately model heterogeneous station types and traffic sources within an Ethernet. It is also possible to model a mix of BEB and BLAM stations within a single Ethernet. This model, when used with a CSIM18 simulation engine, can simulate transmission of a million packets in a five-station Ethernet with 25% offered load in less than 30 seconds on a 200-Mhz Pentium Pro Personal Computer.
