摘要: Simulating how the global Internet behaves is an immensely challenging undertaking because of network's great heterogeneity and rapid change. The ranges from individual links that carry traffic, to protocols interoperate over links, "mix" different applications used at a site, levels congestion seen on links. We discuss two key strategies for developing meaningful simulations in face these difficulties: searching invariants judiciously exploring simulation parameter space. finish with brief look collaborative effort within research community develop common network simulator.
