Stef,
From the SqueakMap entry:
Name: NetModel
Summary: Analytical modeling for simple data networks

Description:
NetModel is a simple modeling tool for data networks. It allows you to
build
a simple network of hosts/routers and connecting circuits and evaluate its
performance.
The documentation that is included is intended for someone that
understands Squeak basics, especially the Halo and the Morphic Viewer.
I used it a time or two with different graphics to show a customer why you
want to get rid of the ten magabit hub between the high bandwidth server
and the rest of the corporate network. I wish this tool had been around
twentyfive years ago when we were trying to do a big circuit routing
project. It would have really helped.
I've been able to load it into a 3.8 image. When 3.9 goes beta, I'll post
things I find about Connectors and other discoveries. Right now, It looks
like We're trying to get the infrastructure refinements worked out.
Thanks again for the excellent work that is being done.

Thanks.
As I said my personal goal is to have a system that support the
vision of Dan:
"A system that one person could understand" because I think that
this is
really cool to be able to learn from the system.

Can you let me know what is NetModel?
