Abstract
The development of a flexible computer simulation package for packet switching computer networks that enables the evaluation of different congestion avoidance methods and routing strategies is discussed. The package is presented in terms of the factors involved, the operations required, and the simulation execution considerations. Use of the package for the evaluation of congestion avoidance methods and routing strategies is described. The congestion avoidance methods considered include isarithmic methods with static and dynamic control. In addition, static and dynamic routing strategies are taken into account. The relative differences between the various methods and strategies considered are presented. It has been found that the results obtained agree with previous results, and this confirms the suitability of the package for future investigation. The package would be useful to students and researchers in the field, especially since it uses the widely known computer language Pascal, and is run on an IBM PC(AT).
