A Critical Mission Need: A MHS Network Model (Simulation Framework):
An enterprise-level (node-to-node, gateway-to-gateway) simulation model of the current and
alternative MHS network topologies to provide a basis for evaluating the effect of configuration
changes (equipment upgrades, application changes, etc.) and network traffic changes (outages,
re-routes, Quality of Service (QOS), etc.) . Simulation of the topologies would also benefit
capacity planning, link performance, availability and “what-if” analysis.
