PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF MESSAGE SEGMENTATION IN TANDEM NODE COMPUTER NETWORKS

Date Issued:

Summary:
Analytical and simulation performance evaluation results are presented on the effects of message segmentation and the validity of the Independence Assumption when applied to analytically modeling tandem node computer networks. Simulation results indicate that increasing message segmentation threshold will increase the network traffic intensity and consequently the total packet delay. Simulation and analytical results for total packet delay compared well only at low traffic intensities. At higher traffic intensities the discrepancy is due to the Independence Assumption since it does not account for the increasing dependency of interarrival times and service times as packets are made to wait at the nodes.
