Abstract

This research addressed the performance characteristics of a computer-communication network that integrates both voice and data traffic on the backbone of the network. Network performance was analyzed using an event-driven FORTRAN simulation model. The model was based on a circuit-switched communications subnet whose trunk lines carry both voice and data traffic simultaneously. A sizing and timing analysis is accomplished by collecting empirical performance data for a variety of system input parameter combinations. The data was analyzed to determine simulation running time needed to reach steady state and to size the input parameter ranges that correspond to feasible network performance.
