Computer Systems Performance Evaluation and Prediction

15.4 Summary

This chapter illustrated the usefulness of analytical and simulation modeling for studying a component of a local area network, in this case the control scan time for the queuing model and throughput for the simulation. These models provide a fairly easy means to extract such information. They have been applied to a variety of other LAN problems. The reader interested in more details of such modeling is directed to the references cited in this chapter.
