By understanding protocols in computer communication, different
cognition levels are involved. After a mere observation phase of
predefined scenarios, interactively modifying parameters and rules
to test the resulting behavior are best suited to become acquainted
with a protocol. Because of the complexity of protocols, only a few
consequences of such modifications can be seen directly. Therefore,
support is needed to be able to estimate changes in protocol
behavior caused by such modifications. We describe "HISAP"
(Highly Interactive Simulation of Algorithms and Protocols), whose
features enable such a way of training in computer protocols.
