Hi, cloud simulation

I want to know can I use Matlab to simulate cloud environment?

[Walter Roberson]

clouds as in atmosphere? Or clouds as in distributed data storage and computing?

SimEvents perhaps ?

I'm new in MATLAB. I need to simulate network and cloud environment at the same time. is it hard to do?

[Walter Roberson]

The only people I have seen succeed in doing that, were asking much much better questions, such as

"In 10BaseT ethernet, the inter-packet gap (IPG) is defined in terms of a particular number of seconds, where-as in 100BaseT, the inter-packet gap is defined in terms of bit-times. At low speed, 802.11f could be said to be emulating 10BaseT or perhaps even more to the point, 10Base2: does 802.11b define the IPG by particular times or by bit-times? How does that work when you have a mixed 802.11b and 802.11f network, does the IGP stay constant time, or is there provision for negotiating bursts with reduced IPG?"

Or, "In 802.11g, a client that suspects it is in a high noise area can negotiate a lower rate DSSS instead of OFDM. But what about if OFDM was originally negotiated but the noise increases: is there provision for shifting to DSSS if you are on the OFDM track, or do fall-backs happen strictly within the OFDM or DSSS class?"

Because you cannot correctly model throughput and congestion unless you know the answers to those kinds of questions.
