A Packet Speech Measurement Facility

Abstract

The Packet Speech Measurement Facility (PSMF) is an investigative tool designed to be used by researchers in packet network studies. The PSMF facilitates experiments dealing with the timing and composition of packet flow, and will help elucidate the interactions between the conceptual structures of protocol design and the physical exigencies of network implementation. This report summarizes efforts undertaken by the Computer Corporation of America during the second year of PSMF development: January 1, 1978 to December 31, 1978. These efforts have been aimed at the generalization of existing PSMF functions to serve a larger community of packet network experimenters, and have culminated in the design specification for the augmented features, the implementation of additional protocols, and the installation of some server facilities.
