  Abstract

In the Internet environment in which best-effort services are provided, we need to guarantee end-to-end performance rather than hop performance to provide services with a variety of QoS(Quality of Service) requirements. The end-to-end performance is affected by many factors along the path of traffic flow. Most existing simulation studies are concentrated on a single node or a few nodes. We need much different approach considering the simulation execution time to simulate a large-scale network. In this paper, we derive requirements and present methodologies for the implementation of the simulator to simulate it. Then, we design and implement our simulator using OPNET. Performance evaluation is carried out using the simulator for large-scale KII (National Information Infrastructure in Korea). We use a self-similar traffic model and present some results on the end-to-end performance metric for the networks.
