Abstract
Researchers who aim to evaluate proposed modifications to the Internet’s architecture face a unique set of challenges. Internet-based measurements provide limited value to such evaluations, as the quantities being measured are easily lost to ambiguity and idiosyncrasy. While simulations offer more control, Internet-like environments are difficult to construct due to the lack of ground truth in critical areas, such as topological structure and traffic patterns. This thesis develops a network topology and traffic models for a simulation-based evaluation of the PURSUIT rendezvous system, the name-based interdomain routing mechanism of an information-centric future Internet architecture. Although the empirical data used to construct the employed models is imperfect, it is nonetheless useful for identifying invariants which can shed light upon significant architectural characteristics. The contribution of this work is twofold. In addition to being directly applicable to the evaluation of PURSUIT’s rendezvous system, the methods used in this thesis may be applied more generally to any studies which aim to simulate Internet-like systems.
