Generation and Analysis of Service-Based Traffic Flows
Alvaro Bernal, Marc Ruiz, Luis Velasco · 2019
The rapid availability of new services makes that network operators cannot exhaustively test their impact on the network or anticipate any capacity exhaustion. This situation will be worse with the imminent introduction of the 5G technology and the kind of totally new services that it will support. In this paper, we present CURSA-SQ, a methodology to analyze the network behavior when the specific traffic that would be generated by groups of service consumers is injected. CURSA-SQ includes input traffic flow modelling with second and sub-second granularity based on specific service and consumer behaviors. The methodology allows to accurately study traffic flows at the input and outputs of complex scenarios with multiples queues systems, as well as other metrics such as delays.
