  Resource allocation is an essential design aspect for current systems and
bandwidth allocation is an essential design aspect in multi-protocol label
switched and OpenFlow/SDN network infrastructures. The bandwidth allocation
models (BAMs) are an alternative to allocate and share bandwidth among network
users. BAMs have an extensive number of parameters that need to be defined and
tuned to achieve an expected network performance. This paper presents the
BAMSim simulator to support the network manager decision process in choosing a
set of BAM configuration parameters for network design or during network
operation.
