Performance Evaluation of a Communication Network With Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation and Bulk Arrivals

Communication networks had a separate deployment for each emerging service like telephone networks, data networks and multimedia networks. In integrated services network the packets are transmitted using efficient statistical multiplexing. In this paper, the authors develop and analyze a two-node communication network with dynamic bandwidth allocation having bulk arrivals. The performance of the statistical multiplexing is measured by approximating the arrival and the service process with Poisson process and the bulk size is uniform, which is chosen such that several of the statistical characteristics of the communication network identically match with the Poisson process.
