The paper addresses issues associated with the application of federations of parallel/distributed simulators to large scale networks simulation. We discuss two principal paradigms for constructing simulations today. Particular attention is paid to an approach for federating parallel/distributed simulators. We describe the design and performance of frame relay network simulator (FR/ASimJava) implemented based on a Java-based library for distributed simulation - ASimJava. Six practical examples - six networks operating under frame relay - are presented to illustrate the operation of the given software tool. The focus is on the efficiency of presented network simulator.
