Accelerated Simulation of Network Switch Nodes

A method is proposed for decomposition of a switching node in the form of virtual switching channels connecting the transmitting and receiving ports of the node. The simulation model of a specific data transfer path between the ports of the switching node preserves the relationship of parameters and transmission processes between all ports of the node. The proposed approach helps to reduce the dimension of the simulation model of the switching node. The use of the layered modeling method on a virtual switching channel, as an analogue of a switching node, speeds up the modeling process. The results of the experiment show the effectiveness of the combined use of layering and reducing the dimensionality of the switching node model
