Abstract

The availability of high-performance networking technologies and processing power allows creation of new multimedia services and applications in broadband integrated services networks. Such new services will be successful only if delivered to end-users at low cost. At present, for wide-area distributed systems, communication has a relevant impact on the overall costs. As a consequence, adequate methodologies for an efficient dimensioning of the network resources need to be devised. Simulation techniques represent a powerful instrument for the analysis and evaluation of real systems. This paper, moving from the definition of mathematical models for VBR video sources, presents the application of a simulation approach to verify the compatibility of the communication load related to a set of video streams with the data transport capability of an existing network architecture for the delivery of video streams, in the case of CBR communication links.
