Lectures:
- Introduction (requests, servers, queues, communication path, cyclic process of simulation analysis)
- Theory of service (Kendall's notation, Little's rule, utility factor, state space, time space, intensity of arrival and service, birth-death process, sample service units, priority service, service networks)
- Petri and colored Petri nets (definition, marking tree, reachability of states, examples of models from the field of computer science and computer safeness, limitation, conservatism)
- 4. Metrics and tools for evaluating network performance (latency, number of packet hops, energy efficiency)
- Obtaining the values of quantitative variables of the network
- Qualitative metrics for evaluating network performance
- Traffic generation models in computer networks
Laboratory courses:
Methods and approaches presented during the lectures will be demonstrated on practical computer network examples during the laboratory courses. Different software tools will be used such as OpNet, NS2, OMNeT++, TETCOS, GTNetS, etc.
