Abstract

Abstract A Mixed Voice and Data Communication Network (MVDNET) with end‐to‐end (ETE) window flow control policy is modeled by a closed multichain queuing network. Using an approximate solution of the Mean Value Analysis (MVA) algorithm, the computational complexity of analysing a large‐scale MVDNET and various commodities is dramatically reduced by several orders of magnitude over that required by traditional product‐form solution. We consider the problems concerned with the choice of window size, the effect of voice interruption, the number of voice‐grade (VG) channels per internode link and the selection of appropriate packet length. It is shown that the analytic results are very close to the simulation ones using GPSS language, and that the extensive MVA algorithm is a practical and valuable tool for solving the MVDNET analytical model with ETE window flow control policy.
