What is the NDAC?
The Network Design and Analysis Capability (NDAC) is a modeling and analysis suite of tools designed to view the public switched network (PSN) [including the public switched telephone network (PSTN), Internet Protocol (IP) and next generation packet networks, and wireless, satellite and cable infrastructures] under various stress conditions. Software resources include the telecommunications databases, tools, and models used to assess network performance, perform modeling and simulation, and visualize network topologies. The NCS continuously refines and expands the NDAC’s analysis capabilities through algorithm development, software updates, the acquisition of new data sets, and application module development.
