This workshop will focus on the large-scale nature of the Internet and how to account for it adequately when studying core Internet issues such as topology, routing, traffic, performance, and control. One approach is to use a combination of large-scale network measurement infrastructures and large-scale network simulation engines. A central problem in faithfully simulating large-scale networks is that packet-level descriptions scale poorly; while there exist more abstract models using, say, flows, the errors made in such approximations are not understood.
