Implementatıon of Devs Based Dıstrıbuted Network Sımulator For Large-Scale Networks

Abstract

In this study, a tool was developed for design and implementation of a new discrete event based distributed simulation for large-scale networks. By using DEVS as a modelling approach, client / server based, scalable, platform-independent, flexible new network modelling and simulation tool called 'D-DEVSNET' was designed and performance analysis were conducted. In order to show the performance of the network simulation tool, D-DEVSNET and the power of the DEVS approach on parallel and distributed applications, some tests were carried out such as the measurement of throughput capability of different sized networks in a certain period of time, the average end-to-end packet delay and the amount of packet loss, consumption of speed and memory. According to the tests that were conducted, D-DEVSNET has been proven a well-scalable and high performing simulation tool.
