Simulation of priority multi-path data transmission in the AnyLogic environment

In this paper we developed the simulation model of multi-path data transmission network in the AnyLogic environment. Our model proposes two paths for data transmission, prioritization of the input packets and lifetime for data packets after which there is no sense to transmit them. We made a set of experiments and calculated Quality of Service parameters such as percent of common losses, queue length, paths delays, percentage of using path 1 and path 2. We showed that AnyLogic simulation tool is adequate mean for network simulation on the top level of abstraction.
