Abstract:
There are several students who cannot understand the mechanism of communication, which is a part of TCP/IP, by taking lectures and reading textbooks. Our system helps students to understand it by observing network behavior in trial and error. Our system takes network configuration, customized packets and step numbers as input and then calculates packet transmission step by step. The students can observe the behavior of networks simulated by our system. They can also edit the network states at any step and the simulation is restarted from the edited network state.
