<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm trying to simulate some routing algorithms with a event
driven simulator. MCI backbone topology</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and some of topology to Waxman's result is used. But, we find
the simulation time is so long that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>it may last for 2-3 days! The amount of connection request may
be over 550,0000! If we always take this</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>way, the experiment may last for month! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Would you please give some indication on how to decrease
the converge time of simulation. (we use </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>a confidence level 0.99 and confidence interval 0.05
)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Each word will be highly appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV>
