Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present some measurements on the performance of a X.25 packet switching subnetwork and of a typical X.25 DTE-DCE interface. The communication parameters considered are the window size of the link layer flow control, the length and contents of the packets and the internode distance. The collected measurements on the X.25 subnetwork are compared with others obtained through different versions of DTE connected to the same subnetwork. Some considerations are presented about the time spent by the packets inside the DTE and consequently about the efficiency of the DTE version used in these experiments.

Modeling bufferless packet-switching networks with packet dependencies

In this paper we present a stochastic network model for packet-switching networks with no buffering capabilities at the nodes. This model can be directly used in the study of all-optical packet-switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS) networks ...
Study of temporal behaviour of packet loss in packet switches with bursty traffic arrivals

The study of packet loss is of great importance to the design of fast packet switching systems. Fast packet switching is generally accepted as the best technique for designing high-speed computer networks. Due to the high throughput demands and the ...
Node pacing for small optical RAM-buffered packet-switching networks

One of the difficulties with optical packet switched (OPS) networks is buffering optical packets in the network. The only available solution that can currently be used for buffering in the optical domain is using long fiber lines called fiber delay ...
