Analysis and Modeling Tools for High-Speed Networks

该项目是圣地亚哥超级计算机中心(SDSC)和加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)的合作项目，旨在解决互联网上的性能分析和预测此类性能的模型开发问题。需要工具来分析和模拟可用的网络数据，并帮助定义用于网络评估和优化的数据集。随着互联网及其NREN组件发展更高的性能和更高的覆盖率，这种能力将变得更加关键。初步调查的一些领域包括评估网络延迟、确定流量模式和服务要求、网络性能的参数化以及探索围绕收集的网络数据的粒度和范围的问题。*

This project, a collaborative effort between the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and the University of California, San Diego, (UCSD), addresses performance analysis on the Internet and development of models to predict such performance. There is a need for tools that analyze and model available network data and also assist in defining data sets for network evaluation and optimization. Such capabilities will become more critical as the Internet and its NREN component develop higher performance and are are more high spread. Some areas of initial investigation include assessments of network latencies, identification of traffic patterns and service requirements, parameterization of network performance, and exploration of issues surrounding the granularity and scope of collected network data.***
