Abstract

Traffic simulation plays a vital role in the development and testing of internetworking systems, particularly as the demands on network performance and reliability increase. This paper explores the inherent challenges associated with traffic simulation in the context of internetworking, emphasizing the necessity of enabling integration tests to ensure robust system performance. We identify key obstacles such as varying traffic patterns, complexity in modeling real-world scenarios, and the integration of diverse technologies. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of creating a modular simulation framework that allows for adaptive testing environments and effective validation of network protocols. By examining existing methodologies and proposing innovative solutions, this study aims to enhance the efficacy of traffic simulations and facilitate more reliable integration testing processes in networked systems.

Keywords: Networking, Simulation, Integration Test, Quality Assurance.
