Tmix: A Tool for Generating Realistic TCP Application Workloads in ns-2
Overview In order to perform realistic network simulations, one needs a traffic generator that is capable of generating realistic synthetic traffic in a closed-loop fashion that "looks like" traffic found on an actual network. This paper describes such a traffic generation system for the widely used ns-2 simulator. The system takes as input a packet header trace taken from a network link of interest. The trace is "reverse compiled" into a source-level characterization of each TCP connection present in the trace. The characterization, called a connection vector, is then used as input to an ns module called tmix that emulates the socket-level behavior of the source application that created the corresponding connection in the trace.
