Abstract

 

This research work presents an analysis of the traffc on a LAN segment heading to model its behavior and the generation of similar results by using a traffc simulation tool. To achieve this, datagrams are collected from servers supporting commonly used protocols such as SMTP1 and HTTP2. The datagrams are then used to determine the degree of self-similarity of the network segment and its probabilistic characteristics. Different tests are used for each case. Once the network segment model is obtained, a simulation tool is used to get a similar traffc environment to the real network traffc.
