Two-Layer Modeling for Local Area Networks

概要

During the recent years, the Open-Systems Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model is becoming a standard which structures the protocols into seven layers and specifies the interfaces of computer communication networks. In the framework of the layered model, various performance studies have been made for the individual layer, in which the layers above and below the one of concern have been represented simply by source, workload and transmission models for analytical tractability. However, only a few works have been published for a performance study where two or more layers are combined together. Such a performance model is significant for network users to predict performance of network functions imbedded in their application Programs. In this paper, we apply the OSI layers model to LAN (Local Area Networks) and concentrate on the modeling of the MAC layer and the Transport layer in a layered protocol architecture. In our model, the LLC layer is treated as a simple 'time-delay' source, i. e. , we consider a connectionless service for the LLC layer.
