Re: Traffic characteristics



Thanks, Harry.
 
I'm not sure I'll get a chance to look at them before the meeting, but I'll try.
Appreciate the info.

Khaled:

packet size distribution: there is some stats we are using from MCI. "Standard" tri-nodal distribution.
burstiness: Looking at the cell level, minutes, and hours: the traffic is very bursty with some additive effect due
to aggregation. There is a definite trend in traffic pattern during the day. ACM has some traffic profile
stored on line.

Here is a list of references. I've not hit these sites lately so I don't know if they are still up. Good luck.

RPR'ers, I raised this question about 3 weeks ago and got the familiar underwhelming response! Several people indicated availability of traffic patterns that were taken off the Internet or other networking environments that would be useful for us to use in the simulations. In my mind, we need things like packet size distributions, interarrival times, burstiness, application and protocol distributions, and any other relevant characteristics of network traffics that we may want to consider in the simulations. Does anyone have such information that they can share with us in the meeting next week? Khaled Amer
