Allocation of HTTP/TCP Sources for Traffic Generation in Large Network Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The simulation of models from real existing networks where measurements of the traffic exist are challenging: One major concern is the establishment of the measured traffic intensities with the simulation model with HTTP/TCP sources. The steady state formulas for the TCP throughput are not applicable for short-time connections that are characteristic for WWW traffic. We have addressed this problem in [1] and discuss an advanced version of the algorithm in this paper.

Internet Traffic Generation for Large Simulations Scenarios with a Target Traffic Matrix
The simulation of realistic networks is an important aspect in the development of new protocols or algorithms for communication networks. The traditional approach for such a simulation is to connect a certain amount of sources to network nodes and to measure the link load, end-to-end delay etc. in the simulation in order to evaluate the performance of the network. Network providers have a diffe...

The simulation of realistic networks is an important aspect in the development of new protocols or algorithms. We have considered – to the author’s knowledge for the first time – the problem of calibrating the total number and the allocation of HTTP traffic sources in a simulation model of a TCP/IP network with a target matrix of traffic flow intensities. The configuration of a large simulation...

The inclusion of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is necessary for the realistic simulation of data networks. However, the operation of HTTP-TCP sources puts a heavy tax on the simulations leading to two major scalability problems: the computing resources required by each source put a limit on the total number of sources that can be simulated, and the number of events generated by every simu...

We report on a large-scale empirical study to create application-level models for TCP traffic generation in simulations and network test-beds. A novel aspect of the study is the development of a method to construct empirical application-level models for arbitrary client/server (request/response) application-level protocols based on an analysis of unidirectional traces of only the TCP/IP headers...
