Abstract

This paper describes the method of orchestrating behavior of two discrete-event simulators: Timed Colored Petri Net (TCPN) simulator and popular Ns-2. The simulators are connected to provide reliable model of distributed systems based on TCPN formalism supported with precise TCP model from the Ns-2, based on real implementation. Consequently, precise results of network transmission time estimation can be combined with reliable model of distributed application in order to obtain credible estimations of its efficiency on the basis of simulation. Data passing interface together with clock synchronization algorithm is described and discussed. Results of experiments are compared with simulations.
