基于NS-3网络模拟器的MPQUIC协议仿真研究

Simulation research of MPQUIC protocol based on NS⁃3 network simulator

随着5G移动视频应用加速落地以及国内视频流需求的迅速激增,迫切需要一种新的数据传输协议来提供可靠的安全性,以保障上层应用处理更多的接入连接以及满足更低的延时需求.多路径QUIC协议(Multipath Quick UDP Internet Connection,MPQUIC)具有拟合多条链路带宽资源、强大连接的容错能力和高可靠性等优点,被认为将在未来移动互联网数据传输中发挥重要的作用.然而,目前国内外研究人员对于MPQUIC协议的相关研究正处于初步阶段,该协议还没有一个普适性的、开源的仿真平台.因此,借助全球网络仿真领域应用最广的NS-3网络模拟器搭建了MPQUIC仿真平台(ns3-mpquic),为相关学者提供研究MPQUIC协议的开源、免费、普适的基础平台,为全球专家学者对MPQUIC协议的模拟部署和优化提供助力.

With the widespread adoption of 5G mobile video applications and the rapid surge of domestic video streaming demands,there exists an imperative for a novel data transmission protocol that ensures reliable security while satisfying the escalating requirements for increased access connections and reduced latency.The MPQUIC(Multipath Quick UDP Internet Connection)protocol is widely regarded as a pivotal element in the future mobile internet data transmission due to its unique capability to leverage multiple link bandwidth resources,exhibit robust connection fault tolerance,and deliver high reliability.However,despite its promising potential,research on the MPQUIC protocol is still in its nascent stages,and there is currently a dearth of universally adopted or open⁃source simulation platforms dedicated to studying this protocol.To address this pressing need,we have developed the MPQUIC simulation platform on the widely acclaimed NS⁃3 network simulator(ns3⁃mpquic).This open⁃source and freely available platform establishes a solid foundation for investigating the intricacies of the MPQUIC protocol,empowering global experts and scholars to simulate and explore its deployment and optimization.By providing this essential resource,we aim to facilitate in⁃depth studies and foster the advancement of the MPQUIC protocol.
