SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING COMPUTING DEVICE MODELS IN A MULTI-SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An embodiment of a simulation tool includes a path determiner and a simulator. The path determiner is configured to identify a first communication path between first and second devices of a system, and the simulator is configured to simulate a routing of a first item from one of the first and second devices to the other of the first and second devices via the identified path. The path determiner may also be configured to identify the communication path before the simulator simulates the routing of the item, or to identify the communication path while the simulator is inactive.
