Abstract
| We describe an ATM network simulator that uses Markov-modulated
fluid models for the sources as well as fluid leaky buckets and
fluid bandwidth schedulers. The generalized processor sharing (GPS)
and "idling" bandwidth schedulers are described. We argue for the
use of the idling scheduler over GPS. Based on this fluid model, a
simulator for ATM networks has been developed. The simulator employs
the well-known discrete event-driven approach. Finally, simulation
results are given that, in particular, compare the performance of
fluid and "cell-level" simulators. The experimental results indicate
that while the fluid simulator is much faster for ATM networks with
certain characteristics, some key issues still need to be addressed
to widen the applicability of this approach
