In this paper, we present a tool for the simulation of fluid models of high-speed telecommunication networks. The aim of such a simulator is to evaluate measures which could not be obtained through standard tools in a reasonable delay or through analytical approaches. We follow an event-driven approach in which events are associated only with rate changes in fluid flows. We show that, under some loose restrictions on the sources, this suffices to efficiently simulate the evolution in time of fairly complex models. Some examples illustrate the utilization of this approach and the gain that can be observed over standard simulation tools.
