Abstract: A method for transmitting data in a network system and a network system having an operation of a network controller of a fourth network element in a promiscuous mode, and a generation of an IP tunnel between the first network and the second network, the third network element and the fourth network element being particular end points of the IP tunnel guided via an access element.

Abstract: A method for event-based simulation of a system, the simulation comprising a first computing unit and at least one second computing unit, the first computing unit has a simulation time, the second processor has an operating system layer and an application layer. The second computing unit has a system time in the operating system layer, with at least the second computing unit executing a simulation application. At least one simulation object is executable on the simulation application, and the first computing unit manages an event queue, with at least one event per simulation step being listed in the event queue. The event is associated with a process to be executed by the simulation object and a simulation time provided for execution of the process.
