Traffic generation for telecom cloud-based simulation

Abstract

With the incremental amount of applications running over the telecom cloud architecture it is becoming of paramount importance being able to run simulations aiming at evaluating the performance of such applications. To that end, one of the key elements in the simulation is how to generate network traffic. In this paper we propose realistic traffic functions that can be used for such purposes and present how those functions have been integrated in our OMNET++-based simulator.
