The accurate and efficient modeling of Internet worms is a particularly challenging task for network simulation tools. The atypical and aggressive behavior of these worms can easily consume excessive resources, both ...

The complex nature of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is not amenable to analytical modeling, and thus simulation–based analysis methods are needed to understand its behavior. To this end, we investigate techniques that ...

Federated simulation interfaces such as the High Level Architecture (HLA) were designed for interoperability, and as such are not traditionally associated with high performance computing. In this paper, we present ...

Simulation has become the evaluation method of choice for many areas of computer networking research. When designing new or revised transport protocols, queuing methods, routing protocols, (just to name a few), a common ...

Presents an approach for creating distributed, component-based simulations of communication networks by interconnecting models of sub-networks drawn from different network simulation packages. This approach supports the ...

The simulation of large–scale multicast networks often requires a significant amount of memory that can easily exceed the capacity of current computers, both because of the inherently large amount of state necessary to ...

The memory resources required by network simulations can grow quadratically with size of the simulated network. In simulations that use routing tables at each node to perform per-hop packet forwarding, the storage ...
