Simulating Internet Worms
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 2004-10)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 ... -
Scalable RTI-Based Parallel Simulation of Networks
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 2003-06)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 ... -
Performance of Routing Protocols in Very Large-Scale Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 2005-09)As wireless devices become more and more popular, ad hoc networks grow in the number of nodes as well as the complexity of communication among the large number of nodes. However, due to the limitation of simulation ... -
On Standardized Network Topologies For Network Resesrch
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 2002-12)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 ... -
Network Aware Time Management and Event Distribution
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 2000-05)In this paper we discuss new synchronization algorithms for Parallel and Distributed Discrete Event Simulations (PDES) which exploit the capabilities and behavior of the underlying communications network. Previous work ... -
Large–Scale Simulation Models of BGP
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., New York, 2004-10)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 ... -
