Simulation Technologies in Networking and Communications

CRC Press

Simulation is a widely used mechanism for validating the theoretical models of networking and communication systems. Although the claims made based on simulations are considered to be reliable, how reliable they really are is best determined with real-world implementation trials.\n\nSimulation Technologies in Networking and Communications: Selecting the Best Tool for the Test addresses the spectrum of issues regarding the different mechanisms related to simulation technologies in networking and communications fields. Focusing on the practice of simulation testing instead of the theory, it presents the work of more than 50 experts from around the world.\n--Considers superefficient Monte Carlo simulations \n--Describes how to simulate and evaluate multicast routing algorithms \n--Covers simulation tools for cloud computing and broadband passive optical networks \n--Reports on recent developments in simulation tools for WSNs \n--Examines modeling and simulation of vehicular networks \nT.
