Abstract
Developers of bulk data transfer applications have discovered that they can increase network utilization by transferring data over many sockets in parallel. We introduce a software model of parallel data transfer applications that leverages OPNET Modelerreg to adapt to a wide range of network scenarios. We also compare preliminary simulation results with real-world performance data.
