Abstract:
Due to both the complexity held down by the systems of Computer Networks and the fact that some technologies have not yet being explored or even completely implemented, the digital simulation tools are presented as important options in the analysis of these systems. In this Master Dissertation some software components were specified to facilitate the construction of the simulation tools that are applied in both modeling and
performance evaluation of computers networks with TCP/IP technology. The utilization of
a component-oriented software development approach allows new applications to be
constructed virtually by means of a set of components linked with each other, using a
graphic editor. The components specified in this work present the essential functionality to
event-oriented simulations like event scheduler, clock control, random value generators and performance measures collect. In this specification, it was utilized the Unified Modeling Language (UML), on focusing principally the analysis and project phases.
