Abstract

Accurate traffic generation is essential for realistic network simulations in systems such as Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), Information-Centric Networks (ICNs), and the Internet of Things (IoT). These environments handle various types of data traffic—ranging from web pages and videos to sensor data and software updates—making it critical to model traffic patterns effectively. A well-designed traffic generator enables researchers and engineers to simulate real-world workloads, test scalability, and evaluate the performance of caching, routing, and resource allocation strategies under realistic conditions. Each traffic class has unique characteristics, including object size distributions, access patterns, and temporal dynamics. Capturing these differences is key to producing meaningful simulation results. For instance, CDNs require simulation of content popularity and delivery latency, ICNs focus on content retrieval and caching efficiency, while IoT simulations demand modeling of device behavior and intermittent communication. To support such complex scenarios, a traffic generator must not only mimic real user behavior but also allow for flexible scaling, combination, and modification of traffic patterns. This paper presents a method for evaluating synthetic traffic generators by comparing their output to the statistical properties of the Zipf distribution. The focus is on assessing whether synthetic traffic accurately reflects the heavy-tailed nature of real-world traffic as modeled by Zipf’s law. By analyzing the frequency distribution of requests generated by the traffic model and comparing it to theoretical Zipf curves, the study provides insights into the fidelity of the traffic generator. We measure the discrepancy between the simulated network traffic and the theoretical model to evaluate the accuracy and realism of the traffic generation approach.

Abstract

Prior social computing studies described that the performance of technology products is about how the product use benefits the users, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). To have an impact, ensuring how AI is used is a prerequisite after the development. Furthermore, its use is also influenced by how users accept AI. This study aimed to develop an acceptance and success model of AI use in the higher education world from the user perspective, to decompose the model into its instrument level, and to test the validity and reliability of the research instrument. The researchers developed the model by adopting and combining the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Information System Success Model (ISSM) and adapting the proposed model in the context of AI use in higher education learning. The measurement items were derived from definitions of the variables and indicators of the model. The instrument was tested sequentially using triangulation methods. The quantitative testing was online survey with about 51 respondents and the qualitative one was interview involving five experts. This study may contribute methodologically as one of the guidance for novice scholars in similar works. It may relate to the clarity of the research procedure and the implementation of the mixed testing methods. Of course, the assumptions, samples, and data used in the study cannot be generalized for the other studies. Referring to the model development, the proposed model may not cover the other factors related to the ethical, cultural, and organizational barriers for adopting AI. These barriers may also affect its acceptance and success. Thus, the adoption of the factors related the barriers may also be interesting to study further.
