Abstract :
Recent advances in computer communications are discussed including computer-traffic and channel error characteristics, optimal fixed message block size, statistical multiplexing, and loop systems. A unified model is developed and then used to analyze the queueing behavior of the star and loop systems. Numerical results for selected traffic intensities and message lengths, given in graphical form, provide insight into the performance of these systems.
