Estimating computer communication network performance using network simulations
Abstract
A generalized queueing model simulation of store-and-forward computer communication networks is developed and implemented using Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling (SLAM). The model includes an ACK/NAK data link protocol, four-level message precedence, finite queues and a response traffic scenario. Network performance, indicated by average message delay and message throughput is estimated using the simulation model.
