Abstract
AbstractTransport of bursty traffic is becoming increasingly in demand in telecommunication networks for still image transfer, facsimile, electronic mail and other file transfer services. End-to-end delay is an important performance criterion for this traffic, particularly in real time applications such as when it is an accompaniment to a telephone conversation or the response to a data base query. Packetized transport of this traffic is desirable from the viewpoint of bandwidth efficiency so long as it meets the end-to-end delay requirements. This paper presents a new, computationally efficient, analytical modelling technique for performance analysis of bursty traffic in a packet switched network which allows estimation of end-to-end delay. A comparison of the analytical results with a simulation shows that the analytical model is within the 90 per cent simulation confidence intervals for a large range of parameter values. The model is based on approximate Mean Value Analysis of a closed network in conju...
