Empirical Dataset of 1200 hours of Experiment: Reliability and Performance Measurements of Dynamic Routing Applications

This artifact presents the empirical measurements of an experiment with 1200 hours of runtime. We repeated the experiment 200 runs, each for 6 hours. The data folder provides the empirical data, and the plots folder gives the distribution of reliability and performance measurements in 200 runs. <strong>For reliability</strong>, we simulate component crashes and measure the request loss. To simulate component crashes, we generate a random number for each service and router and stop the docker container if the generated number is below a crash probability (0.5% in this study). <strong>For performance</strong>, we consider the round-trip time of requests going through several services until the requests are processed. The experiment cases are: Four levels of call frequency \(cf\): 10, 25, 50, 100 requests/second (r/s) Three levels of service: 3, 5, 10<br> the number of services \(n_{serv}\) in a call sequence Three architectures: <br> Central Entity (CE): one router \(n_{rout} = 1\)<br> Dynamic Routers (DR): three routers \(n_{rout} = 3\)<br> Sidecar Architecture (SA): 1 router per service \(n_{rout} = n_{serv}\)
