Abstract

The Livermore Lab has embarked on a multi-year effort to develop a large-scale realistic network simulation capability. Specifically, we are developing computer network simulations for realistic networks derived from real and synthetic network maps, and which incorporate real hardware and geographic constraints, at enterprise (10K node) and above scale; incorporate near-realtime updates from the real global Internet; and generate traffic from realistic traffic models matched to observed data. In this poster we describe our approach and specific applications areas of interest.
