[comp.lang.smalltalk] Network-simulating

loggen@euraiv1.uucp (R.P. Loggen) (06/07/89)

 Hello there readers,

 here at Erasmus University, Holland, we are busy trying
 to build a *huge* WAN point-to-point Netwerk simulator
 in Smalltalk-80 (Sun/4). 
 We are very much interested in hearing from people who
 are planning to start or are busy with this or related
 subjects !

 Our goals are the following :

  1. Create a topology, with cost,flow and traffic-matrices given.
  
  2. Simulate the corresponding network-structure with all kinds of
     protocols (ISO)
     
  3. Try to optimize the network, minimize cost and maximize efficiency
     based on information gathered in the simulation.

Eventually the nodes in the network will be processes, with some
specified task, instead of just dumb sending messages of some length.

It would be great hearing from you !
