Abstract	We investigate how the two network performance parameters number of packets in transit and average delay are affected by additional links added randomly to a network connection topology of a packet-switching network. For the purpose of our study we have identified that the OSI Network Layer is the most important layer of the OSI reference model. For this layer we developed an abstraction for which we derived a time-discrete algorithmic simulation model. Using this model we investigate how the number of packets in transit and average delay are affected by routing algorithms and connection topologies. For our study we developed a C++ simulation tool, called Netzwerk-1. In this article we highlight the developed methodology and present some selected results.
