            PLANNER - Network Planning Made Intuitive

                      Anticipate the performance of your network
                      and its impact on service levels before
                      deployong new applications, adding new users,
                      or migrating to new technology.

                      No-programming,   drag-and-drop   environment
                      with   models   of   applications   and   the
                      industry's most advanced library of standard
                      protocols and equipment. An exclusive partnership
                      with HP means seamless integration with the
                      OpenView Network management tools to fully
                      automate the model building process. The
                      result is unprecendented speed and ease od use.

            MODELER - The Network Simulation Power Tool
                           For Network R&D

                      Model and simulate your proposed designs
                      in a comprehensive networking environment
                      with complete flexibility to define your own
                      protocols, algorithms, and system characteristics.

                      Detailed standards-based protocol model library,
                      including HTTP, TCP/IP, OSPF, RIP, IGRP, Frame
                      Relay, ATM, X.25, Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, etc...

            XPRESS  - The Test Environment for Communications ASICs
            DEVELOPER       For Network Hardware Developers

                      Revolutionary software package that uses
                      "co-simulation" technology to verify hardware
                      designs in the context of networks or distributed
                      systems.

                      Leverages OPNET's ability to accurately simulate
                      networks to allow hardware designers to use "real-
                      world" netwprk traffic and protocols as stimulus
                      for hardware models. The result is a faster, more
                      accurate, and more powerful testbed for your VHDL
                      and Verilog hardware designs.
                      Integrated with Model Technology's ModelSim.
