| The base package for network
simulation in J-Sim is the drcl.inet package.
It contains the base classes defined in the abstract network
model, as well as a set of utility functions and classes that
facilitate creation of simulation scenarios. In Part I of this document, we
first explain
the abstract network model (based on which we can define and
implement components for virtually any network architecture).
Then, we describe these utility
functions and classes in
details in Part II. In Part III, we
outline the procedures for on-line instrumenting and interacting
with the simulation. Finally, we give a complete reference of the components in
the package in Part IV.
The drcl.inet package is built on top of
the autonomous
component architecture (i.e., the drcl.comp package). If
you are familiar with the autonomous component concept and the J-Sim
environment, you may go ahead and read Part I:
The INET
Network Model. Otherwise, we strongly recommend that you
browse through the J-Sim Tutorial
and/or the white paper of the
autonomous component architecture to better understand the component architecture and the
J-Sim
user interface.
