Traffic Modeling in the ATM-TN Telesim Project: Design, Implementation, and Performance Evaluation
Martin Arlitt, Yiyang Chen, R. J. Gurski, Carey L. Williamson · 1995
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the traffic models that have been designed and built for the ATM-TN TeleSim Project. A brief description of each of the three traffic models (an MPEG compressed video model, an aggregate Ethernet LAN traffic model, and an Internet mosaic session model) is presented, including the purpose, the design methodology, and the parameters for each model. All three models have been implemented in SimKit, a C ++ -based simulation interface built on top of Shared Memory TimeWarp (SMTW), which provides an environment for efficient parallel simulation. Preliminary performance results for the sequential implementations of the three traffic models are now available, and are reported in this paper. 1 INTRODUCTION Workload modeling is a vital component of any simulation study (Jain 1991). Outputs from a simulation model are highly dependent on the inputs provided to the model, and without realistic input workload models, the simulation results ...
