TOPNET is a software package for the simulation of communication networks that is being developed with the aim of exploiting as much as possible the visual aspects of a simulation experiment. The communication network topology and architecture are described by drawings, the system dynamics are represented with a class of timed Petri nets, the simulation experiment is controlled through menus and buttons activated with a mouse, and results are graphically displayed on the screen. With the help of an example, the main characteristics of the user interface and the internal architecture of TOPNET are described

Abstract
TOPNET is a software package for the simulation of communication networks that is being developed with the aim of exploiting as much as possible the visual aspects of a simulation experiment. The communication network topology and architecture are described by drawings, the system dynamics are represented with a class of timed Petri nets, the simulation experiment is controlled through menus and buttons activated with a mouse, and results are graphically displayed on the screen. With the help of an example, the main characteristics of the user interface and the internal architecture of TOPNET are described
