Colloquia "Modeling and generation of network traffic based on user behavior"

Abstract:

In this talk a concept of behavior based traffic modeling will be explained on a case study of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs). First the methodology and of measurements and modeling for both network traffic and user behavior will be explained. Furthermore the software architecture for network traffic generation will be described. In the end the current implementations of the software architecture will be described together with some results regarding scalability of the traffic generation.
