Networks are critical in semiconductors, embedded system and distributed architectures.  For example, Network on a chip is a concept in which a single silicon chip is used to implement the communication features of large-scale to very large-scale integrated systems. In the case of large-scale designs, SoC, boards or systems can be distributed across the entire body of the vehicle or spacecraft, to reduce the complexity at a single location, eliminate a single point of failure, provide a complex network connectivity to meet performance and provide a well-controlled structure capable of better power, speed and reliability.

For high-end system-on-chip designs, network on a chip is considered the best integrated solution. NoC technology applies networking theory and methods to on-chip communication and brings notable improvements over conventional bus and crossbar interconnections.Examples for network integration are token ring, CAN/CAN-FD, SPI and Ethernet switch. Inter-networking can be carried out by implementing these in a module.

VisualSim Architect has the important provision fornetwork protocols, router design and interconnects. Here, the major role is that of routers and the delays of physical interconnects. Routing plays an important role in the networking since its efficiency decides the throughput. Using VisualSim, you can construct a virtual path for the packets to be sent from the source to the destination. The results can be seen from the sending of data from one router the other and that also by defining a path.
