 \subsection{Aims}
 
+I aimed to implement a simulation capable of simulating MOOSE and Ethernet networks on a commodity PC to give a realistic comparison of MOOSE and Ethernet within a number of areas:
+
+ * The size of the state data held by the switch and change in performance characteristics as this reaches a predefined limit.
+ * The amount of overhead in terms of control messages relative to the amount of data transfered.
+ * The efficiency of the routes used by the protocol.
+
+I aim to show how MOOSE and Ethernet compare as the number of hosts under simulation rises.
