Overview of the Traffic Matrix Estimation Research
Jiang Ding · 2008
With the fast development of Internet network, network operators urgently want to know how the data in their network flow in order better to make network management, network monitoring, network designing and network planning and so on. Traffic matrix, as an important input of network traffic engineering, is widely researched by the worldwide researchers and becomes currently an important research area of Internet. This paper introduces the current research situations about traffic matrix, and analyses and compares the research methods about traffic matrix. Finally, we discuss the technologic difficulty of traffic matrix research, and point out the new development about traffic matrix.
