Computer Network - CS610 Power Point Slides Lecture 22

The document discusses key network performance characteristics including delay, throughput, and their relationship. Delay is the time for data to travel across the network, while throughput is the rate of data transfer. As network utilization increases, delay also increases due to queuing in packet switches. Jitter refers to variability in transmission delay.

Network Performance Characteristics

Delay
Throughput
Delay
 Important quantitative property of networks.

 Delay is a measure of how long it takes for a bit of data to


travel across the network from one computer to the other.

 Measured in seconds or fractions of seconds (milliseconds).

 Maximum and Average Delay.


Types of Delay
 Propagation delay - time to travel across medium.
 Switching delay - time for network. component (hub, bridge,
packet switch) to forward data.
 Access delay - time to get control of medium (CSMA/CD,
token).
 Queuing delay - time enqueued in packet switches.
Throughput

 Throughput is a measure of the rate at which data can be


sent through the network.

 The throughput capability of the underlying hardware is


called bandwidth.
Throughput
 Because each frame contain headers the effective
throughput is less than the hardware bandwidth.

 Networking professional often use the term speed as a


synonym for throughput.
Relationship between Delay and
Throughput

 If a packet switch had a queue


of packets waiting when a new
packet arrives the new packet
D0
will be placed on the ail of the D=
queue and will need to wait (1-U)
while the switch forward the D = Effective Delay
previous packets.
D0 = Delay when the network
is idle
U = Value between 1 and 0
denoting the current
utilization
Relationship between Delay and
Throughput
 Throughput and delay are not completely independent.
 As traffic in a computer network increase, delays increase;
a network that operates at close to 100% of its throughput
capacity experiences severe delay.
Delay-Throughput Product

 Computed as delay time multiplied by effective throughput.


 Measures amount of data that can be present in the
network.
 In fast networks with long delay times, sending computer
can generate large amounts of data before destination
receives first bit.
Jitter
 The amount of delay that a network introduces.

 A network with zero jitter takes exactly the same amount of


time to transfer each packet.

 A network with high jitter takes much longer to deliver some


packets than others.
