Use of the Raw Packet Generator in OPNET

1 Research Assistant of the Fund of Scientific Research Flanders (FWO-Vlaanderen) 2 ESAT-Telemic participates in the OPNET University Program for research and educational projects. Abstract It has become clear that the traditional Poisson model of data network traffic is insufficient for dimensioning and analyzing the performance of real-life networks. Fractal models are more appropriate for simulating the self-similar behavior of data traffic. OPNET features the Raw Packet Generator (RPG) which contains several implementations of self-similar sources.
