| The Network Traffic Analysis Module was designed for estimating traffic volume on each link (intersatellite or "ground station-satellite") at a given time. | |||||||||||
| For a given set of network nodes on the ground, the user can specify the number of randomly chosen source-destination pairs of nodes, the traffic load offered to the network by each pair of nodes, and a valid range of distances between the source and the destination on the ground. | |||||||||||
|
For each pair of nodes on the ground, the Network Traffic Analysis Module calculates and displays:
- distance on the ground between the source and the destination; - list of nodes (satellites) in the chain; - number of steps from the source to the destination; - total path length (km); - end-to-end packet delay, which includes propagation delays, the user-specified value of the delay at a satellite node, and network access delay. |

| For each active link, the module calculates the number of active flows traversing the link and the link load, i.e., the Sum of all active flows traversing the link. | |||||||||||
|
The module displays the histogram illustrating the distribution of the following parameters at a given moment:
- intersatellite link load - one direction; - intersatellite link load - both directions; - number of steps from the source to the destination; - total path length (km), - end-to-end packet delay. |
