Resumo:
The growth of the Internet demand continuous investment directed to the evolution of the
TCP/IP technology. Study of the systems of the computer networks, commonly, use the digital
simulation technique. In t h i s context, environments of simulation based in components emerge as
alternatives that makes easy the build and performance evaluation of the general computer
networks models. The approach to Component-Oriented software development determine that an
application can be builded through a kit of components coupled. That approach to is a natural
evolution of the approach to object- oriented, on that a component correspond to a inter-relacioned
classes kit w i th limited extern view. That master dissertation presents a component specification
concern to the modeling of the TCP/IP networks. The components are generics representing the
minimum funcionalities of t he TCP/IP network's basic elements, such as traffic sources, hosts, links
and routers. That specification was made making use of Unified Modeling Language (UML)
focalizing mainly the plan and elaborate phase, the analyze phase and design high-level phase
(architecture design). Several phases of development process documented in this dissertation can
be reusable in the development of the environment of the component-oriented simulator, as well,
can be reusable in the development of the specific simulators, both concerns to the network
performance modeling and evaluation with the TCP/IP technology.
