Self-similar traffic asynchronous conversion simulation in switching nodes using queues

A simulation model of self-similar packet fl ow asynchronous conversion in switching nodes has been developed. When developing a simulation model, the producer-consumer pattern with a queue of limited size was used. To convert self-similar traffi c in switching nodes, the asynchronous programming method was used. In contrast to the well-known works, a simulation model of selfsimilar traffi c asynchronous conversion in switching nodes using a queue was introduced for the fi rst time, which takes into account the limited amount of buff er memory when servicing a self-similar packet stream. The proposed simulation model allows us to determine: the eff ect of buff er size on network performance, the amount of packet loss depending on the size of the queue, the eff ect of queue size on the number of processed packets, the time dependence of the number of lost packets for diff erent Hurst indices.
