MaRS (Maryland Routing Simulator) is a simulation testbed for evaluating routing systems. MaRS is implemented in C on a UNIX platform with two graphical interfaces (Xlib and Motif).
Here is the README file and MaRS software.

The Z-iteration is a numerical-analytical method to obtain transient performance measures of large adaptive distributed systems such as integrated-services networks. The method yields time evolutions of probabilistic measures (e.g. instantaneous queue size distribution) at a cost several orders cheaper than simulation.
