There is a widely held notion in the literature that there is an origin-destination traffic matrix for all the hosts (end nodes) that are attached to any switched local area network. This is usually in relation to the need to calculate the end-to-end (or maximum end-to-end) delays between all the end nodes that are attached to the network, for the sole purpose of using these delays values to design upper-bounded delay switched local area networks, in efforts at solving the delay problems of this class of networks. In this paper, we show that this notion of origin-destination traffic matrix for all the hosts that are attached to a switched local area network does not seem to be correct.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
