Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we present design and implementation of a flow-level simulator FSIM+ (Fluid-based network SIMulator plus) for a network with heterogeneous flows transferred with different transport protocols: TCP, XCP, and UDP. In recent years, flow-level simulators, which can perform significantly faster simulation than packet-level simulators, have been receiving attention. However, existing flow-level simulators can only simulate persistent TCP flows. In this paper, by utilizing fluid models of a short-lived TCP flow, an XCP flow, and a UDP flow, a flow-level simulator FSIM+ for a network with heterogeneous flows is designed. Through several experiments using our FSIM+ implementation, we evaluate its effectiveness quantitatively. Our findings include that, as compared with the packet-level simulator ns2, our FSIM+ implementation achieves (1) less than 10% simulation errors, (2) more than 10 times faster simulation, and (3) less than 10% memory consumption.
