Connection report
This report shows some metrics characterizing routing and blocking of traffic during the simulation.
Network-wide information
Per-demand information
Per-link information
Definitions
Important: "Time-averaged" means that the value of the metric is weighted by the period of time in that the network can be found in that state, divided by the total simulation time.
Network-wide information
- Max./Min./Avg. number of active connections: It is equal to the maximum, minimum, and average number of active connections at any time. The average value is a time-averaged metric
- Max./Min./Avg. carried traffic (E): It is equal to the maximum, minimum, and average carried traffic by active connections. The average value is a time-averaged metric
- Avg. connection blocking probability (%): It is equal to the total number of blocked connections divided by the total number of offered connections, multiplied by 100
- Avg. weighted connection blocking probability (%): It is equal to the total number of blocked connections multiplied by their requested traffic, divided by the total number of offered connections multiplied by their requested traffic, multiplied by 100
- Avg. traffic blocking probability (%): It is equal to the time-averaged value of the per-connection blocked traffic, multiplied by 100. Here, at time t, all active connections (even those blocked, released by algorithms, or degraded, which in an ideal case should be active at 100%) are evaluated. A degraded connection is that whose current carried traffic is below the requested one
- Avg. over-subscribed link capacity (%): It is equal to the time-averaged value of the sum of the excess carried traffic (exceding link capacity) per link, divided by the total carried traffic, multiplied by 100
- Avg. excess carried traffic (%): It is equal to the time-averaged value of the sum of the excess carried per connection (exceding requested bandwidth), divided by the total carried traffic, multiplied by 100
Per-demand information
- Id: Unique identifier of the demand
- Ingress node: Ingress node of the demand
- Egress node: Egress node of the demand
- Planned offered traffic (E): Offered traffic by this demand in the original design
- Average offered traffic (E): Average offered traffic by connections of this demand, including blocked connections. It is a time-averaged metric
- Planned carried traffic (E): Carried traffic for this demand in the original design
- Max./Min./Avg. carried traffic (E): It is equal to the maximum, minimum, and average carried traffic by active connections of the demand. The average value is a time-averaged metric
- Max./Min./Avg. number of concurrent connections: It is equal to the maximum, minimum, and average number of active connections of the demand at any time. The average value is a time-averaged metric
- Connection blocking probability (%): It is equal to the total number of blocked connections divided by the total number of offered connections, multiplied by 100
- Connection weighted blocking probability (%): It is equal to the total number of blocked connections multiplied by their requested traffic, divided by the total number of offered connections multiplied by their requested traffic, multiplied by 100
- Traffic blocking probability (%): It is equal to the time-averaged value of the per-connection blocked traffic, multiplied by 100. Here, at time t, all active connections (even those blocked, released by algorithms, or degraded, which in an ideal case should be active at 100%) are evaluated. A degraded connection is that whose current carried traffic is below the requested one
- Attributes: Set of demand-specific name-value attributes
