It is not the UserManual for Atoll, and does not teach how to operate and use Atoll. It is a supplementary document containing detaileddescriptions of models, algorithms and concepts adopted in Atoll. Therefore, it concerns only the appropriate personnel.The Atoll Technical Reference Guide is divided into three parts with each part comprising similar topics. The first partcontains descriptions of general terms, entities, ideas and concepts in Atoll that are encountered throughout its use. It isfollowed by the second part that consists of descriptions of entities common to all types of networks and the algorithmsthat are technology independent and are available in any network type. Lastly, the guide provides detailed descriptions ofeach basic type of network that can be modelled and studied in Atoll.Forsk (Head Office) 7 rue des Briquetiers 31700 Blagnac
