For some work I'm doing to investigate the performance of different IP-over-ATM schemes, I've developed what I think is a pretty reasonable IP network simulator: The Internet Simulated ATM Networking Environment (a.k.a. INSANE). It's a discrete event simulator done in C++ and Tcl, it simulates the actions of various applications (telnet/ftp/http/audio/video) over TCP/UDP/IP and various primitive data-link layers (one of which is an approximation of an ATM stack). Works great under FreeBSD, as well as a number of other UNIX and UNIX-like OSs I've tried. Eventually I would like to release this on a freely available basis. For right now, I'm deep in thesis-writing mode, and so the release sits on the back burner. But if anyone is interested in a snapshot of the code with the usual disclaimers and caveats, send me email. The downside (for the purposes of the original question) is that it doesn't deal with routing protocols at all (all routing is static). But it might not be too hard to add it... Cheers, Bruce.
