Research in Store and Forward Computer Networks

Abstract

The report considers the general problem of network reliability, the reliability analysis of the ARPA Computer Network, the relationship between cost and throughput in store-and-forward networks and the optimization of the growth of the ARPA Network. The approach to the reliability problem is to combine analytical and combinatorial results with simulation schemes to obtain several powerful procedures for reliability analysis. These procedures are then used to evaluate ARPA Network reliability. In the area of cost throughput trade-offs, the computer network optimization programs derive estimates for optimum network performance.
