SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SIMULATING NETWORK PATH BEHAVIORS

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for training and implementing network behavior model on a network simulator to accurately predict delays in communications transmitted between a sender and receiver of a communication network. For example, systems disclosed herein involve training a network behavior model to determine various behavior parameters that may be used to configure a network simulator trained to emulate certain network behaviors while simulating a network path between a sender and receiver. The systems disclosed herein further involve implementing the network simulator to predict delays that accurately represent real-life conditions of the communication network in an effort to accurately predict delays in communications.
