NoC (network-on-chip) is an emerging paradigm that copes with the increasing complexity and communication requirements of current SoCs (system-on-chip). We present an ns-2 (network simulator) simulation environment for NoC traffic analysis. Namely, the NoC model is illustrated in detail and simulation results are reported. One-dimensional chaotic maps are used for generating long-range dependent traffic.
