Measuring Queueing Time¶

Goals¶

In this example we explore the queueing time statistics of queue modules of network interfaces.

INET version: 4.4

Source files location: inet/showcases/measurement/queueingtime

The Model¶

The queueing time is measured from the moment a packet is enqueued up to the moment the same packet is dequeued from the queue. Simple packet queue modules are also often used to build more complicated queues such as a priority queue or even traffic shapers. The queueing time statistics are automatically collected for each of one these cases too.

Here is the network:

Here is the configuration:

[General]
network = QueueingTimeMeasurementShowcase
description = "Measure queueing time in the switch"
sim-time-limit = 5s

# source application ~96Mbps throughput
*.source.numApps = 1
*.source.app[0].typename = "UdpSourceApp"
*.source.app[0].source.packetLength = 1200B
*.source.app[0].source.productionInterval = exponential(100us)
*.source.app[0].io.destAddress = "destination"
*.source.app[0].io.destPort = 1000

# destination application
*.destination.numApps = 1
*.destination.app[0].typename = "UdpSinkApp"
*.destination.app[0].io.localPort = 1000
