N2 - We present in this paper RENETO, a packet-level traffic generator for OMNeT++/INET. In order to achieve realistic traffic behavior, a first tool computes a model by doing an automatic analysis of a real traffic capture. This analysis extracts statistical distributions of different parameters of the model (e.g., packet size, inter-arrival time). Based on this first step, we then generate traffic in the OMNeT++ simulator corresponding to the observed behavior. Related traffic analysis and generator often model each studied parameter as one statistical distribution, thus treating them as statistically independent. With this work, we use the concept of linking some parameters and making them correlated, in order to mimic more accurately traffic patterns seen in reality. We apply our method to both UDP and TCP based traffic.
