Abstract

Computer networks, especially Internet, are complex systems of enormous social impacts. Numerous implementation deficiencies or even failures have been implied by inadequate simulation and analytical modelling applied for performance investigations for such systems. The paper presents some specific work in this domain on the background of a survey of the methods applied currently. The problems of robustness investigation and optimisation is also mentioned. The work presented may be summarised by the slogan: "Think computers, think performance" that has made it possible to lead successively many pioneering Polish large-scale systems and networks without any troubles connected with inadequate system performance, though the available hardware was nearly always obsolete.
