This report discusses two related activities. The first is the development of a software simulation that predicts the performance of a computer network under different loading conditions. The second is the validation of that simulation. The simulation model is configured to match a laboratory computer network, and each is subjected to similar traffic. The goal of these activities is to establish the credibility of the simulation, which will be used to predict message latency performance, host-to-host, in more complex tactical system architectures planned for Navy use on AEGIS class ships.
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.
