There are two major issues that have to be considered when designing and implementing such a simulation tool, the reliability evaluation and the user “friendly” environment. In our application we use a mechanism exploiting Intranet technology to stress the tested network and confirm the performance, proper operation and delay issues. We have also implemented an easy interaction with the user considering the creation of the scenarios and the presentation of the simulation results, pointing out the problems and the network’s status. Finally, we examined through a number of experiments using different simulation scenarios the behavior of the Intranet by load balancing the simulated users.1 aBouras, Christos1 aGanos, Petros1 aAravantinos, E1 aKokkinos, P  uhttps://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/http-traffic-simulation-and-evaluation-multiple-users-intranet-network
