%X In this paper we describe oPASS (Optical
PAcket Switch Simulator), a simulation tool specifically
designed for the evaluation of slotted Optical Packet
Switching (OPS) switching architectures. oPASS is
implemented in OMNET++, a general purpose eventdriven
simulation framework. oPASS allows the
evaluation of classical parameters in packet networks like
packet loss probability and distribution of packet delay.
Specific issues associated to OPS networks are also
incorporated: a set of particular OPS networks traffic
generators, simulation modules for the evaluation of most
relevant OPS switching architectures and the collection of
specific statistics associated to packet order issues in OPS
networks. Some simulation results are presented to
illustrate the tool. oPASS is flexible and extensible. Since
2002, it has been employed in the investigation carried out
by the Telematics Engineering Group of the Polytechnic
University of Cartagena, in the field of the performance
evaluation of OPS switching architectures.
