Abstract
A method for modeling traffic on a network according to a Client/Server paradigm is disclosed, The method includes the steps of interacting the model parameters from known or measured interactions between a client node running a particular application and a server node with no other activity on the network, The method is repeated for each nodal configuration and for each application until the traffic for each node-application combination has been modeled with no other load on the network. Scripts are created from the paradigm parameters and are used in conjunction with a traffic generator to create discrete events mimicking the traffic which would be generated from each node, The model will insure that the traffic generated by each traffic source will be adjusted as a function of the response of the network under the load created by all of the traffic loading the network,
