| TITLE: IPv6 Application Performance Characterization Using a Virtual/Live Method This paper covers the development of a testbed that allows for characterization of IPv6 networks and applications. Testing network applications is a high-cost effort, and may be a prohibitive to organizations/programs that are on small budgets. It would then be desirous to use a simulation (such as OPNET) to provide a means to provide a network that can transport network application packets. Methods have been developed to allow TCP and UDP applications, as well as joining/leaving of multicast groups. Also detailed is a method that can be used to optimize simulation performance and responsiveness to the applications under test. | |||
