This traffic generator simulates web browsing traffic using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
It consists of one or more ThreeGppHttpClient applications which connect to an ThreeGppHttpServer application. The client models a web browser which requests web pages to the server. The server is then responsible to serve the web pages as requested. Please refer to ThreeGppHttpClientHelper and ThreeGppHttpServerHelper for usage instructions.
Technically speaking, the client transmits request objects to demand a service from the server. Depending on the type of request received, the server transmits either:
A major portion of the traffic pattern is reading time, which does not generate any traffic. Because of this, one may need to simulate a good number of clients and/or sufficiently long simulation duration in order to generate any significant traffic in the system.
Many aspects of the traffic are randomly determined by ThreeGppHttpVariables. These characteristics are based on a legacy 3GPP specification. The description can be found in the following references:
