Title
Agents: a solution for telecommunication network simulation
Abstract
Since several years, telecommunication networks have steadily grown in size and complexity due to the continually growing of users requirements for dynamicity, security and services. Several approaches, such as policy-based networking, active and mobile networks have been proposed in order to satisfy these requirements. Existing approaches of modeling and simulation (like queuing systems for example) cannot represent, test and evaluate such a dynamic environment. This paper presents a behavior-based multi-agent solution to model and simulate dynamic telecommunication networks. Five elementary nodes’ behaviors (basic, careful, selective, faithful and unfaithful) have been implemented and tested by using the multi-agent platform Swarm. Our aim was to measure the impact of introducing the behaviors on the node’s performances (loss of packets, response time and standard deviation of important packets).
