This model is contributed by Dmitry Zaitsev. We list models without going thru them in too much detail, so listing does not imply that we endorse them or any papers listed, only that we provide them as inspiration.
The model of a given IP network is composed of submodels of IP routers and terminal (customer) networks for generating traffic. Terminal networks provide random pairs of sender and receiver IP addresses into the specified address space. Static routing tables are used. See also the model MPLS Network.
The model is described in
Zaitsev D.A., Sakun A.L: “An Evaluation of MPLS Efficacy using Colored Petri Net Models” In Proc. of of International Middle Eastern Multiconference on Simulation and Modelling, page 31-36. Amman (Jordan), August 26-28, 2008.
If you use this model for your research, please cite the above paper.
The model is used for checking and debugging IP routing tables, the performance evaluation of routers and the estimation of the network bandwidth and productivity. It could be employed in the automated design of IP networks. A case study is provided on the example of European backbone network.
