Abstract

Cell level analysis of ATM networks by means of simulation requires an accurate model for traffic sources. We present a simple model for TCP over ATM traffic sources in an ATM LAN, which captures the fundamental characteristics of the behaviour of tcp in this environment. The model was developed by extensive statistical analysis of numerous traffic traces recorded in an atm testbed. Simulated traffic generated by our model has roughly the same properties as observed in real traffic, even on the time scale of milliseconds. This makes it suitable for use by the analysis of various scheduling and congestion management algorithms.

Résumé

L’analyse des réseaux atm au niveau des cellules par simulation nécessite un modèle précis des sources de trafic. L’article présente un modèle simple pour du trafic tcp sur atm dans un réseau local d’entreprise atm, qui reproduit les caractéristiques fondamentales du comportement du protocole tcp dans cet environnement. Ce modèle obtenu par analyse statistique extensive de nombreux enregistrements de trafic effectués dans un banc d’essai atm. Le trafic simulé produit par le modèle a grossièrement les mêmes propriétés que le trafic réel observé, même à l’échelle de quelques millisecondes. Il permet donc l’analyse de divers algorithmes de planification et de gestion de congestion.
