End-to-End Performance of Simplified ADF Backbone Infrastructure

摘要

Main objective of this report is to develop models for the current ADF backbone infrastructure, to improve understanding of ADF network functionality as well as the capability of available network analysis tools. Preliminary results show that the smaller MTU experience less average ETE delay when errors exist in the network. Whenever an error occurs, a data packet has to be resent. This implies that the longer the packets to be resent, the more bandwidth required. Thus, smaller packets can be resent more effectively. The next report will emphasize extended scales of complexity of the current ADF network, and ATM-based backbone architectures.
