Abstract


This paper presents the EROS-5 tool (Synthetic Traffic Generator for 5G Neworks), which allows simulating a variety of applications such as video streaming, VoIP (Voice over IP), Web and IoT, in 5G network scenarios. EROS- 5 is an open source and configurable tool that allows the easy coupling of new mathematical models to generate new types of traffic. The traffic generated is in the form of time series in JSON format, which presents the necessary flexibility to be used by several simulators such as ns-3 and OMNET ++.
