Exploiting the Predictability of TCP Steady-State to Speed Up Network Simulation
Overview In discrete-event network simulations, a significant portion of resources are dedicated to the processing of packet events. For large-scale network simulations, the processing of packet events is the most time consuming aspect of the simulation. This paper develops a technique that saves on the processing of packet events for TCP flows using the well established results showing that the average behavior of a TCP flow is predictable given a steady-state path condition. The paper exploit this to predict the average behavior of a TCP flow over a future period of time where steady-state conditions hold, thus allowing for a reduction (or elimination) of the processing required for packet events.
