Sammanfattning: When developing networking protocols there exists a need to test the
reliability and correctness of them. This can be done using ordinary
hardware, but often tests are performed using a simulator.

The aim of this thesis was to develop a simulator for Net Insight AB,
to be used when testing their DTM protocols. DTM or Dynamic
synchronous Transfer Mode is a networking technique based on circuit
switching.

A simulator that simulates DTM hardware via a hardware interface has
been designed and implemented. It runs on Linux and supports
simulation of different kinds of errors, for example, fibre breaks and
hardware resets. Furthermore, it can be run separately on one computer
or distributed on several computers.
