  • Method for efficiently simulating the dynamic behavior of a data communications network
    Patent number: 5226041
    Abstract: An efficient method is described for predicting the performance of a data communications network operating under a window-based protocol. A state characterizing the dynamic behavior of the data communications network for consecutive operating cycles is computed. A pattern for the state is then determined having a particular repetition period. The number of data packets which are transmitted during that repetition period are then used to characterize the throughput, transit time and other performance characteristics for the data communications network.
