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. Keywords include: Network simulation; Network performance; Computer simulation; Communication networks; Computer-communication networks; SLAM; SLAM simulation; Queueing models; Queueing model simulation; Simulation model; and Message delay model.
