These simulators are written to model networks and traffic by creating the network components and using a scheduler to schedule events. As far as network impact goes, you can get a pretty good idea using these simulators. It is software simulating hardware, as you put it, but you specify the specs of the hardware (i.e., interface speed, bandwidth, delay, etc.). I found another site that has a worm simulator at: http://www.users.qwest.net/~eballen1/nws/ I didn't look at it too closely. It doesn't look like it analyzes traffic, but perhaps you could use the stats from the output to generate traffic for one of the network simulators. Casey
