Abstract

Simulation of communication networks is often time consuming. Parallel simulation may be used to reduce the execution time of such a simulator. However, efficient modeling and simulation of such complex applications is not a trivial task. In this paper, we discuss the results of simulating a multigigabit/s network using both an optimistic and a conservative scheme. Our experimental result on a shared memory multiprocessor indicates that the conservative approach is superior to the optimistic one for this application.
