1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device, a simulation start command;
receiving, by the device, status data indicating that network elements are ready to process data for multiple simulations;
aligning, by the device, a time slot, derived from a universal time clock, to zero;
defining, by the device, a simulation start time, for the multiple simulations, based on the simulation start command and the status data;
defining, by the device, a verification start time, for the multiple simulations, based on the simulation start command, the status data, the time slot being aligned to zero, and a system frame number, derived from the universal time clock, being zero;
defining, by the device, a network frame number that increments when the verification start time changes from zero to one and after the simulation start time and the system frame number are equal to zero;
causing, by the device, the multiple simulations to be executed by the network elements, synchronized in time and based on the time slot, the system frame number, and the network frame number; and
receiving, by the device, synchronized simulation results based on causing the multiple simulations to be executed by the network elements.
