Abstract
The traffic matrix (TM) is an important input in traffic engineering and network design. However, the design of current synthesis models of TMs has been rather ad hoc, and does not necessarily conform to observed traffic constraints. We apply the principle of maximum entropy to develop fast TM synthesis models, with the future goal of developing realistic spatio-temporal TMs.
