In the present day world, simulation is a vital element of modern technology. From science and engineering to other hardware and software applications, it is being used everywhere for different purposes. Computer simulation is used to assist the modeling and analysis of the system.
Why there is a need for simulation
• The rapid increase in number of entities and devices.
• The fact that these entities are hard to success, it becomes difficult to apply updates and fix the bugs
• The exponential increase in the number of potential communication lines
• The complexity that usually comes up with communication.
• The everyday challenges of the physical world.
Additionally, there is one recent and relatively new advent of simulation application and that is into networking area such as network traffic simulation. For networking algorithms or systems, the simulation technologies assisted by computer are being widely used for network simulation.
Network simulators
Different areas such as academic researchers, Quality assurance and industrial developers leverage network simulation to analyze, design, simulate and verify the performance of different network protocols. They are also being used to evaluate the effect different parameters have on the protocols. Generally, network simulators consist of a wide variety of protocols and networking technologies.
This helps the users in building complex networks with the help of basic building blocks. Skilled people can also design different network topologies with the help of the different type of nodes. It is considered to be the most popular of all simulators available. It lacks in the user interface, is more difficult to learn, is less generic and less configurable in comparison to other simulators.
A type of computer simulation, SNMP simulation simulates the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface. Unlike the network simulators which keeps track of network within a computer, this simulator keeps track of the outside systems such as network management application software.
They are being widely used for testing, development and training of network management system software. Before these simulators came into existence, actual physical equipment was used. SNMP simulation is written in pure Java.
Therefore it can run all the platforms that have Java virtual machine installed such as Linux, Windows, Unix to name a few. It also helps you develop, test and train SNMP management applications and you need not purchase expensive hardware devices for the same and bear their maintenance charge later.
Both the above mentioned simulation is of real help in the development process. They make the process of developing complex systems hassle free. At the time, when you need quick feedback together with easy solutions – they’re of real help.
Since, simulation is all new field you need necessary tools and equipment to develop complex systems. With time, the simulation will become more necessary and more and more companies are embracing it to boost productivity. It generates thousands of traps to simulate disaster scenarios. The simulators can help you configure devices and change run time, both an individual and collective basis.
