Grid-based internet worm behavior simulator

The traditional network simulator has function and performance limitation when simulating Internet worms, so we designed the grid-based Internet worm behavior simulator (IWBS Grid). IWBS Grid makes use of the real Internet topology, link and routing information, and simulates the worm behavior at the packet event-driven level; and proposes a high-performance Internet worms behavior simulation platform by right of the grid computing capability, resource and task management, and so on. The experimental results show that IWBS grid surpasses the traditional simulator in simulating capability, and the technology to track the worm propagation in packet level can propose the valuable information for the further study on worms.
