Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are a way of representing entities and
|
|
interactions to demonstrate how protocols operate between network elements.
|
|
|
|
The Access Stratum simulator generates MSC description file that can be
|
|
processed by the Python script msc_gen.py to generate a PNG (Portable
|
|
Network Graphic) file.
|
|
|
|
msc_gen.py use mscgen utility that is fully discribed at
