Abstract

The paper presents a library of classes which are written in C++ and help to construct queueing network models based on diffusion approximation. The models have the form of open networks with arbitrary topology that include at the moment G/G/1 and G/G/1/N stations. Time-dependent and autocorrelated input streams are considered as well as time-dependent service time distributions. In this framework other stations such as G/G/c, G/G/1/Threshold, G/G/1/Pushout, leaky-bucket, jumping window, sliding window that we have already prepared and tested their diffusion models as separate stations are to be included. The software is especially well suited to analyse transient states and to evaluate various control algorithms that prevent traffic congestion in communication networks.
