Abstract
There are two types of network traffic in experimental environments. One is traffic which is derived from target elements and the other one is background traffic which is derived from surrounding elements. There is very little knowledge on the relationships between new elements and existing elements; therefore, surrounding elements that seem to have no apparent relationship with the target elements should also introduced into the environmental environments. Therefore emulating background traffic is important to take realistic experimental results.
We propose XBurner—a platform that can be used to generate mass background traffic using a number of actual and native application software on virtual PCs. Driving actual application software is important to introduce real behavior of elements on real environment into experimental environments. The environment in this platform is developed using AnyBed and XENebula and is controlled by SpringOS.
