bell.labs: Bell Labs 1router data from Cao et al. (2000)

Description

Data from 4-node network with star topology collected from Bell Labs; used in Cao et al. (2000).

Usage

bell.labs

Arguments

Objects

The list bell.labs, which contains several objects:
  • A, the routing matrix for this network (truncated for full row rank)
  • df, a data.frame with all data
  • X, a matrix of origin-destination flows formatted for analysis
  • Y, a matrix of link loads formatted for analysis
  • tvec, a vector of times
In this data, we have A %*% t(X) == t(Y).

Variables

The list bell.labs contains the following:
  • The routing matrix A. The columns of this matrix correspond to individual OD flows (the columns of X), and its rows correspond to individual link loads (the columns of Y).
  • The data.frame df, containing
    • value, level of traffic recorded
    • nme, name of flow or load
    • method, whether flow was directly observered or inferred (all observed)
    • time, time of observation
    • od, flag for origin-destination vs. link loads
    • orig, origin of flow or load
    • dest, destination of flow or load
    • node, node involved in flow or load
  • The OD matrix X. Columns correspond to individual OD flows, and the rows correspond to observations.
  • The link load matrix Y. Columns of the Y matrix correspond to individual link loads, and the rows correspond to observations.
  • The vector tvec, containing the time in decimal hours since midnight for each observation.
