Abstract :
The mathematical research basis for a military strategic defense gateway protocol, the universal interface software (UIS) protocol, is composed of four algorithms. The UIS protocol contains a theoretical basis for determining the congestion controlled network operating point in the load, with a routing availability threshold. The performance evaluation is theoretically based on the extended time Petri net model. This enables the inclusion of: (1) the dynamic behavior of a network illustrated by the execution of network processes and, (2) the real-time asynchronous concurrent network behavior determined by the effectiveness of the synchronization between the processing computer nodes and gateway nodes. The four UIS parametric protocol algorithm processes are theoretically equated to the four Petri net model performance specifications to enable the transparent overlay of the UIS protocol on the SPF algorithm protocol performance evaluation data for ARPANET and MILNET gateway and IMP data
