Abstract

Motivated by the observations in the characterization of traffic patterns, a network traffic model is proposed. A simulation study for network file system (NFS) traffic across a switched multi-megabit data service (SMDS) is conducted to apply the traffic model to SMDS access links in supporting high-performance applications in distributed systems over a wide area. The results show the high applicability of the model to traffic pattern reproduction and manipulation of performance studies. An alternative interval performance criterion is described to better specify the system performance at various time scales
