From Simulation to Deep Learning: Survey on Network Performance Modeling Approaches

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.28394v1 Announce Type: cross Network performance modeling is a field that predates early computer networks and the beginning of the Internet. It aims to predict the traffic performance of packet flows in a given network. Its applications range from network planning and troubleshooting to feeding information to network controllers for configuration optimization. Traditional network performance modeling has relied heavily on Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and analytical methods grounded in mathematical theories such as Queuing Theory and Network Calculus.
