A fast-growing area in the communications industry is the
internetworking of an ever-increasing proliferation of computers,
particularly via local area networks (LANs). The LAN is a
resource-sharing data communications network being used by many
offices to interchange information such as electronic mail, word
processing, and files among computers and other devices. This
unique book shows the user how to establish the performance
characteristics of a LAN before putting it to use in a particular
type of situation. Simulation of Local Area Networks consists of
eight chapters, each with its own extensive list of references. The
first chapter provides a brief review of local area networks, and
the second chapter gives the analytical models of popular
LANs-token-passing bus and ring networks, CSMA/CD LANs, and star
networks. Chapter 3 covers general principles of simulation, and
Chapter 4 discusses fundamental concepts in probability and
statistics relating to simulation modeling. Materials in Chapters 3
and 4 are specifically applied in developing simulation models on
token-passing LANs, CSMA/CD LANs, and star LANs in Chapters 5
through 7. The computer code in Chapters 5, 6, and 7 is divided
into segments, and a detailed explanation of each segment is
provided. The last chapter reviews special-purpose languages such
as GPSS, SIMSCRIPT, GASP, SIMULA, SLAM, and RESQ. Helpful criteria
for language selection are included. The entire code is put
together in the appendixes. This book has two major advantages over
existing texts. First, it uses C, a well-developed general-purpose
language that is familiar to most analysts. Second, the text
specifically applies the simulation principles to local area
networks. No other book available shows the systems analyst how to
evaluate the performance of existing or proposed systems under
different kinds of conditions.
