Importing Binned Background Traffic Flows into OPNET

1 Kristof Sleurs is a Research Assistant of the Fund for Scientific Research Flanders (FWO-Vlaanderen), Belgium. Abstract Developers of network applications or network hardware need simulations to test their products before introducing them into the market. Today, several traffic models are available that can generate packet streams with a behavior close to real-life network traffic. Most of these are discrete models, and thus generate a sequence of packet or byte counts for subsequent time intervals.
