Abstract
The NBS Network Measurement System reipresents the implementation of an approach to the measurement of interactive computer networks, teleprocessing systems, and network series which focuses on the service delivered to users rather than on the internal operating efficiency of the system. The information obtained aids users in the quantitative evaluation of such systems and services. The Network Measurement System consists of a data acquisition System and a separate set of data analysis programs. This paper describes the approach to network measurement taken by this system, the models of user-system dialogue employed, and technical summary of, the implementation of the data acquisition system and the data analysis programs.
