Title:    Abstract Communication Model

Abstract:

The abstract communication model is a model that structurally and
functionally simulates a network. It is general in the sense that it can
be used to model a specific link methodology or the entire internet with
the required "level of abstraction". Potentially such a model may serve
as a platform for the simulation and testing of network oriented
applications.

Such an endeavour necessitates the identification of parameters like
bandwidth, MTU, delays, reliability etc. that may be useful for
simulation.
