What does "static simulation" mean ? Probably not static analysis.

To fully answer questions like "how much traffic will go in this direction?" you need your analysis to include a simulation of what the entire internet is doing. That's hard.

I can't talk about the details, but you can assume that "static analysis" of the form being talked about here is something we've already done, and it's not enough to handle cases this complicated.
