More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The AUTODIN II computer communications network is expected to provide for present and future Department of Defense communications requirements. The proposed AUTODIN II network configuration is designed to provide reliable communications and minimal time delay for both interactive and timesharing and transaction-oriented systems. As development towards an operational network proceeds, questions concerning efficiency and optimality of the network are asked by both the design managers and future AUTODIN II users. To answer these questions, a simulation program at the switch control module (SCM) hierarchal level was developed. It allows the user to: (1) Change the configuration network connectivity and add or delete nodes, SCMs, links and lines; (2) Generate various communication traffic levels from any source location and to any destination location; (3) Define network parameters, such as priorities, percentages of packet sizes, transmission times and special workload identification; and (4) Perform any of the previous options dynamically to analyze the effects of network configuration failures or catastrophic events.
