iBox: Internet in a Box

ACM HotNets 2020 |

We present a vision of data-informed network simulation to address significant shortcomings in the state of the art. We substantiate our position with proof points based on iBox, which leverages networking domain knowledge and machine learning (ML) models, coupled with plentiful data, to provide a pathway to perpetual renewal of network simulators.

iBox – Internet in a Box

November 6, 2020

The iBox (Internet in a Box) project is an ongoing effort at Microsoft Research India on enabling data-informed network simulation. Currently, we use data in the form of per-packet traces gathered at senders and receivers of networked applications to learn network parameters and configure a network simulator accordingly.
