Abstract: This paper discusses both the importance and the dangers of simulations in network research. Simulating how the global Internet data network behaves is an immensely challenging undertaking because of the network's great heterogeneity and rapid change. The heterogeneity ranges from the individual links that carry the network's traffic, to the protocols that interoperate over the links, to the "mix" of different applications used at a site, and the levels of congestion (load) seen on different...
