  7. How Do We Define Network Traffic? • Source (user, group of users) • Destination (user, server) • Traffic patterns

  8. Client-server applications Examples: HTTP, FTP Peer-peer applications Examples: voice, video Multi-tier applications Examples: web-based applications, e-commerce, home-grown applications REQUEST RESPONSE REQUEST REQUEST RESPONSE RESPONSE 3 4 RESPONSE RESPONSE 2 1 REQUEST REQUEST Applications

  9. Application Modeling Techniques • Explicit • Simulate all packets in detail • Very high fidelity results • Potentially longer run times • Analytical • Simulate majority of traffic using mathematical representation • Faster simulation run times • Hybrid • Combination of both explicit and analytical modeling techniques

  10. OPNET Application Architecture Custom application

  11. Profile and Applications: Example Profiles Apps

  12. Configuring Application Models: Workflow Configure applications Define profiles Configure servers/peers Deploy profiles

  14. Configuring Applications Configure applications Define profiles Configure servers/peers Deploy profiles

  15. Configure Applications

  16. Applications: Built-in Common Applications Name Description Custom Application Generic/customizable application Database Data entry/query application E-mail E-mail application FTP File transfer protocol application Web-browsing application HTTP Standard applications Print job Print Telnet application application Remote Login Client-to-client video application Video Conferencing Client-to-client voice application Voice

  17. Applications • Session of specific request/response patterns • Commonly used applications: email, http, ftp… • Common settings to all applications • Type of service • Symbolic server name • RSVP parameters • Specific settings to each application • HTTP page configurations • FTP file sizes • Database query ratio

  18. Application Definition Utility • Contains all application definitions • Reusability • Across clients • Across scenarios • Easier deployment • Easier change “FTP (Light)” Application Definition I I’m running “FTP (Light)” I I’m running “FTP (Light)” I I’m running “FTP (Light)” I I’m running “FTP (Light)” I I I’m running “FTP (Light)” I’m running “FTP (Light)”

  19. Symbolic Server Name Application has a symbolic server name, e.g. “FTP (Light)” Actual server name is specified in server, e.g. WashingtonDC_Server Mapping between symbolic server name and actual server name

  20. Application Definition Object

  21. Example: File Transfer Protocol • Upload or download of files: • Using file size distribution • Using Inter-request time distribution FTP (Application) GET PUT PUT PUT time Inter-Request Time Inter-Request Time Inter-Request Time Specific FTP settings Common settings

  22. Example: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) • Download of a web page: • Using distribution for number of objects in page and sizes • Using page interarrival time distribution HTTP (Application) Web page download Web page download Web page download time Page Inter arrival Time Page Inter arrival Time Specific HTTP settings Common settings

  23. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (cont.)

  24. Profiles Configure applications Define profiles Configure servers/peers Deploy profiles

  25. Define Profiles

  26. Profiles • Profile = Reusable collection of applications • Describes activity patterns of: • an individual user • a group of users Engineer Engineer Marketing department Engineer Help desk CFO CEO

  27. Profile Configuration Object Engineer Profile Definition • Contains all profile definitions • Reusability • Across clients • Across scenarios • Easier deployment • Easier change I I’m an engineer I’m an engineer I I I’m an engineer I I’m an engineer I I I’m an engineer I’m an engineer

  28. Profile Properties Repeatability Profile Name Operation Mode Duration Applications Start Time

  29. Profile Name, Start Time, and Duration • Example: • “Engineer” profile • Starting at 9:00am • Lasting 8 hours Duration Engineer 9:00am 12:00pm 5:00pm Start Time

  30. Profile Repeatability • Serial mode Engineer Engineer Engineer Engineer Inter-repetition time Inter-repetition time Inter-repetition time • Concurrent mode Engineer Engineer Inter-repetition time Engineer Inter-repetition time Engineer Inter-repetition time

  31. Applications in Profile • I have the definitions of the following applications: • Database Access (Light) • Email (Light) • Web Browsing (Light) • FTP

  32. Application Scheduling • Multiple applications per profile “Engineer” profile Database Web Browsing Web Browsing Web Browsing Email FTP FTP FTP FTP FTP 9:00am 12:00pm 17:00pm

  33. Operation Mode • Simultaneous Database Web Browsing Email FTP 9:00am 12:00pm 17:00pm • Serial (ordered/random) Database Web Browsing Email FTP 9:00am 12:00pm 17:00pm

  34. Applications in Profile Repeatability Name Start Time Offset Duration

  35. Name, Start Time Offset, and Duration • Example: • “FTP” application • Starting 2 hours after profile “Engineer” starts • Lasting 4 hours Engineer (Profile) FTP (Application) GET PUT PUT PUT Start time offset Duration 9:00am 11:00am 3:00pm 5:00pm Note: an application will not last longer than the profile

  36. Application Repeatability • Serial mode FTP FTP FTP FTP Inter-repetition time Inter-repetition time Inter-repetition time • Concurrent mode FTP FTP Inter-repetition time FTP Inter-repetition time FTP Inter-repetition time Note: an application will not repeat and last longer than the profile

  37. Configure Servers/Peers Configure applications Define profiles Configure servers/peers Deploy profiles

  38. Configure Server/Peers (cont.)

  39. Server Supported Service Setup

  40. Server CPU Setup

  41. Server Address • Uniquely identifies server • Server address to be mapped to the symbolic server name

  42. Deploy Profiles Configure applications Define profiles Configure servers/peers Deploy profiles

  43. Deploy Profiles (cont.)

  44. Client Profile Setup

  45. Destination Preferences • No destination preference => Randomly select among destinations supporting service • Selection weight set on destinations My weight is 10 Choose me! Server2 is 5X more likely to be chosen Server1 ? Client My weight is 50 Choose me! Server2 • Explicitly configure destination(s) => Randomly select among destinations specified on client • Weight set on client I have to choose between: - Server1: weight 20 - Server2: weight 10 Server1 Server1 is 2X more likely to be chosen ? Client Server2

  46. Configuring Destination Preferences Application refers to a symbolic server name, e.g. web_browsing_server Actual server name is specified in server, e.g. WashingtonDC_Server Mapping between symbolic server name and actual server name

  47. Configuring Destination Preferences (cont.)

  48. Application Statistics • Local and global statistics • Client/Server statistics or calling/called party statistics • Specific to each application • Local statistic results will be grouped per profile/application

  49. Lab 1: OPNK2003 Cyber Cafe • Objective • Apply workflow to configure application traffic • Application configuration • User behavior profiles • Configure servers to support applications • Deploy user profiles • Refer to lab handout “Lab1: HTTP Application Configuration Lab” on page 1 Configure applications Define profiles Configure servers/peers Deploy profiles

  50.
