NEMACS: the NEtwork MAnagement and Control Simulator

The Network Management and Control Simulator (NEMACS) is a software tool for developing, testing, integrating and evaluating different network management (NM) techniques for multiservice circuit switched networks. NEMACS is designed to provide the modeling detail and flexibility required for research and development work in NM. NEMACS models network elements, signaling protocols, and exogenous network events to a level of detail sufficient for capturing network behavior pertinent to NM. Logical layering of call transport, call control, and network control functions in NEMACS provides flexibility in composition of both network scenarios and their respective NM strategies.<
