A User-Oriented Performance Index for Packet Switched Networks.

Abstract

As packet switched networks become more widely used, there will be a need to characterize network performance with an index that defines how well the network can meet the user's needs. This thesis explains present and future measures of network performance, some of which are user-oriented, and how they can be useful. Dividing users into groups based on user needs, a model of a composite, performance index is developed. The usefulness of this index, if provides on a rela-time basis, is then explored and substantiated. (Author)
