MODEM POOL SIMULATION AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

摘要

In the near future, dial-up connections will still be one of the most popular methods of remote access to the Internet as well as to enterprise networks. The dimensioning of modem pools to support this type of access is of particular importance to commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) as well as to universities that maintain their own modem pools to support access by faculty, staff, and students. The primary contribution of this paper is to analyze how network administrators may decrease the probability of blocking for access to the pool by imposing business rules restricting the maximum duration of the on-line session.
