Demonstrating QoE-aware 5G Network Slicing Emulated with HTB in OMNeT++

Today’s networks support a great variety of services
with different bandwidth and latency requirements. To maintain
high user satisfaction and efficient resource utilization, providers
employ traffic shaping. One such mechanism is the Hierarchical
Token Bucket (HTB), allowing for two-level flow bitrate guaran-
tees and aggregation. In this demo, we present HTBQueue - our
OMNeT++ realization of the HTB, and show how the module
can be used for mimicking 5G network slicing and analyzing its
effect on network services.
