Effect of Traffic Interval on Buffering in Go-Back-2 Network in NS2

The paper presents the effect of traffic interval on the buffering in Go-Back-2 network. The paper represents behavior of Go-Back-2 network when different traffic intervals are used with different buffering capacities. The simulation is done and results are produced in the NS2 simulator. It is concluded that the increase in the traffic interval increases buffer size otherwise it degrades the performance in multi path, multi hop networks like Go-Back-2 network. Ihe performance can be improved by taking account of appropriate buffer for available traffic interval at each link node and thus reduces the packet drops and increases the performance in the network.
