Simulation study of a network of voice/data integrated TDMs

Abstract

Previous results on a single integrated-services TDM (time-division multiplexer) node are extended to the modelling and analysis of a network of integrated-service TDMs. Different interconnections of the integrated-services TDM nodes are studied by means of computer simulation. The results indicate that a Poisson assumption for the internal data arrivals is reasonable. With this assumption, the mean queue analysis at an individual node can be separated from the rest of the network, so that solution of the entire network can be obtained by combining the separate solutions. >
