Abstract

The increasing usage of Instant Messaging(IM) applications worldwide continues to grow year on year. However, larger numbers of users creates problems with greater network traffic, interoperability and proprietary protocol dependence. Network traffic due to presence information being exchanged between users and servers needs to be considered, but is it possible to estimate or measure this traffic? There have been very few studies performed on the impact of presence traffic. The purpose of this research is to implement a SIP/SIMPLE network environment that will allow the evaluation of key metrics such as the latency and throughput of the network under a number of scenarios. It will be shown that the amount of network traffic generated due to presence subscriptions can grow large, and the effects of this on the network performance will be analysed. From this analysis, it will be shown that SIP/SIMPLE presence traffic has a steady, predictable impact on the performance of the network. It will also be demonstrated that other nodes on the network that are transmitting non SIP/SIMPLE traffic do not suffer significant throughput degradation due to SIP/SIMPLE presence traffic.

对基于SIP的即时消息进行了研究，重点研究了由于存在而产生的网络流量的影响

即时消息(IM)应用程序在全球范围内的使用量逐年增加。然而，大量的用户会带来更大的网络流量、互操作性和专有协议依赖等问题。需要考虑由于用户和服务器之间交换状态信息而产生的网络流量，但是是否有可能估计或度量这种流量?很少有关于现场交通影响的研究。本研究的目的是实现一个SIP/SIMPLE网络环境，该环境将允许在许多场景下评估网络的延迟和吞吐量等关键指标。本文将说明，由于在线状态订阅而产生的网络流量可能会增长很大，并将分析这种情况对网络性能的影响。从这个分析中可以看出，SIP/SIMPLE状态流量对网络性能具有稳定的、可预测的影响。还将证明网络上传输非SIP/SIMPLE流量的其他节点不会由于SIP/SIMPLE存在流量而遭受显著的吞吐量降低。
