Methodology for the Optimal Configuration of TCP Traffic in Network Simulations Under Link Load Constraints
Overview Given that over 90% of the Internet load is carried by TCP, most network simulation studies use TCP flows to generate the background traffic. A basic, but unresolved, question however is: how can one decide how many TCP flows to simulate from one network node to another? Simulating too many flows on a link can cause an unrealistically high loss rate on that link, while simulating too few flows can result in undesirably light load conditions. Similarly, to simulate realistic network conditions, one has to carefully control the load distribution on various network links (e.g., edge vs. core links), as well as the hop count (path length) of the simulated TCP flows.
