Abstract
Performance metrics related to the processing and propagation of messages related to select applications are collected during a simulation of a network. Each message associated with an application is tagged, and each simulated packet that contains some or all of a tagged message is correspondingly tagged to facilitate the creation of transmit records and receive records. A post processor is configured to collate transmit and receive records of each tagged message to identify delays associated with each node that processes the message, and each link that propagates the message from node to node within the network. The processed timing information is provided to the user via an interactive user interface that allows the user to view the timing information from an application layer perspective.
