Buses have been widely used in LANs(e.g., Ethernet) to inter-connect a moderate number of computers. This project develops a discrete-event simulator for a bus-based network with the intend of analyse system performance under different working conditions like:
- Performance on cable breakdown
- Performance on additional computers are added or
- Performance on heavy traffic
- Possibility of Data leakage
- Possibility of Virus infection
- Performance with Carrier Sense Multiple Access
- Performance with a bus master which controls access to the shared bus resource.
