Approximate Delay Analysis of Transaction Oriented Communication in a Distributed System
Dan Cristian Marinescu · Purdue e-Pubs (Purdue University System) · 1989
A methodology for computing the response time in heterogeneous distributed systems is presented.The approximate analysis is based upon two conjectures: (a) the queueing delays in data transmission in a transaction oriented system can be approximated by the queueing delays in an equivalent network with independent data arrival rates at all nodes, and (b) a server entity can be modeled either as an MIMI! system or as an MIGI! system depending upon the distribution of the remote service time.These approximations are validated through simulations for a transaction oriented system build around a token ring network.
