Unit 2- High-Speed n/w- queing modelChapter 8 Overview of Queuing Analysis 1
IntroductionIntroduction- Motivation
How to analyze changes in network workloads? (i.e., a helpful tool to use) Analysis of system (network) load and performance characteristics
response time throughput
Performance tradeoffs are often not intuitive Queuing theory, although mathematically complex, often makes analysis very straightforward

Items Departing
Items Departing
Comments, assuming queue has infinite capacity: At V = 1, server is working 100% of the time (saturated), so items are queued (delayed) until they can be served. Departures remain constant (for same L). Traffic intensity, u = LP/R. Note that Ts = L/R, so:
Pmax = 1 / Ts = 1 / (L/R) is the theoretical maximum arrival rate, and that LPmax/R = u = 1 at the theoretical maximum arrival rate

Item population
generally assumed to be infinite therefore, arrival rate is persistent
Queue size
infinite, therefore no loss finite, more practical, but often immaterial
