Abstract

We present a method to realize geographic network traffic simulation models. Our approach is based on a hierarchy of traffic producing objects. It uses the polymorphic concept of the object-oriented programming paradigm to realize a traffic simulation model for traffic sink, and sources with arbitrary properties. We used the method to develop a global traffic model with hierarchical structure that can be used for mobile satellite communications system performance studies
