Transactional Traffic Generator Implementation in NS-3

Abstract

Traffic generators have been essential for representing real- world traffic in network simulation studies. Furthermore, Internet-like traffic is a necessity when analysing the impact of different kinds of traffic on the network. In this paper, we present the implementation details of our HTTP traf- fic generator in the ns-3 network simulator. It is able to generate Internet-like as well as user-defined HTTP traffic. We further verify the correctness of the traffic distribution function generation module as well as the transaction han- dling mechanisms in this model. Based on different network characteristics from previous work, we are able to generate similar simulation results and carry out more detailed HTTP simulations.
