Saito, H., Tsuchiya, T., Marosi, G., Horvath, G., Tatai, P. and Asano, S., "Real-time Cell Arrival Sequence Estimation and Simulator for IP/ATM Networks," Networking 2000, Paris.
We have developed a new traffic measuring tool and applied it to the real-time simulation of a network. It monitors IP traffic on an ATM link and continuously transfers the length and timestamp of each IP packet to a post-processing system. The post-processing system receives the data, estimates the cell's arrival epoch at the transmission queue of the ATM link, and simulates the queueing behavior on-line if conditions differ from those of the actual system. The measuring tool and real-time simulation represent a new approach to traffic engineering. A new estimation problem, the arrival sequence estimation, is shown and some algorithms are proposed and evaluated.
