Problems with
real networks:
|
|
They do not stay
still, routes change, links are upgraded, pings are blocked, hosts go down,
hosts have configurations changed, routers are misconfigured and/or crash
|
|
Must avoid
impacting production traffic, need agreement of remote administrators and/or
network folks
|
|
Many of the
stacks are alpha or beta releases and are in the kernel: kernel crashes,
developer wants to add new feature, measurer wants stability or throw out
previous measurements. Some stacks were not available in time (Westwood+,
GridDT)
