Software-based method for simulation of multiple access networks

摘要

A software-based method for simulation of multiple access networks is provided. The method can simulate one or more networks complying with broadcast media on one or more computers installed with a protocol for transferring simulation frames to computers involved in simulation by using software. Also, simulation frames are transferred over the simulated network. The invention takes advantage of the installed protocol to simulate a frame transfer mechanism. Further, the invention can define and simulate a real network topology by software for transmitting/receiving simulation frames.
