ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed, in general, to network design, and more specifically, to systems and methods for modeling a network. The present invention provides a method of modeling a network and a computer system employing the method. The processing system includes a memory for storing tasks and a processing circuit, associated with the memory, for executing ones of the tasks A set of associated data records, which is storable in the memory, is included. The set of associated data records represents a plurality of network elements within a network model. The associated data records include one or more parameters representing characteristics of the network elements within the network model. A modeling task, storable in said memory and executable by the processing circuit, simulates transmission of data packets between ones of the network elements within the network model. The simulated transmission of the data packets within the network model is performed, at least in part, as a function of the one or more parameters. A processing task, storable in the memory and executable by the processing circuit, generates transmission indicia of the network elements within the network model. The transmission indicia is generated as a function of the simulated transmission of the data packets within the network model, and is usable by the processing task to modify ones of the one or more parameters. This modification suitably simplifies the simulated transmission of the data packets within the network model by the modeling task.
