duplication rate is 20%)Here's a simple extension of the simjava simulation environment that implements a unidirectional message passing channel that can be faulty.
Here's a small Java applet to give you a feel of how the new class works and looks like. You see a ``source'' to the right that keeps on sending packets to the ``sink'' on the left. The channel in the middle simply relays the packets and buffers them if they come in too fast. It will also inject faults into the channel. Faults can be:

duplication rate is 20%)The source will produce about 40 packets and will send them with increasing speed. During the simulation you'll see how the channel buffers the elements in a queue and what kind of faults occur.
