A system for simulating a network includes a request processor operably connected to a simulation engine. The request processor receives a request for network simulation data and input data relating to a topology of a network including node data and relationship data with relationship parameters. The simulation engine outputs a stream of event data based on the relationship data to the request processor and generates respective events by determining a source node and a destination node and corresponding relationship parameters, determining an event time, and determining a transfer value. The simulation engine also, in response to a determination that the transfer value does not exceed a current resource level of the source node, decrements the current resource level of the source node by the transfer value, increments a current resource level of the destination node by the transfer value, generates event data, spawns an event generation process, transmits update data, spawns at least one additional event generation process, and streams the event data to the request processor for transmission to a user device.

System and method for simulating network events

A network simulation system comprises a request processor and a simulation engine. The request processor receives node data indicative of resource levels of nodes of the network, and relationship data indicative of relationship parameters of a plurality of relationships between the nodes. The simulation engine outputs a stream of event data based on the relationship data. Respective events are generated by: determining source and destination nodes, and corresponding relationship parameters for the relationship between them; determining an event time based on a rate parameter of the corresponding relationship parameters; determining a transfer value; and if the transfer value does not exceed a current resource level of the source node, modifying current resource levels of the source and destination nodes according to the transfer value, and generating, at the event time, event data comprising a timestamp, a source node identifier of the source node, a destination node identifier of the destination node, and the transfer value.
