COMNET Il.5 is a general SIMSCRIPT Il.5-based model for the performance analysis of circuit-switched, message-switched, or packet-switched networks. A variety of alternate-routing and adaptive shortest-path routing algorithms are built-in. After creating a network description with a convenient menu-driven editor, simulation follows immediately. There are no programming delays. Network operation is animated during the simulation. Reports show blocking probabilities, call queueing and packet delays, network throughput, link group utilization, and link group queue statistics. This paper highlights some of COMNET Il.5's latest features, which include capabilities for modeling call preemption, call retries, dynamic bandwidth allocation, link failures, and source-node routing.
