Routing as a flow control strategy in an integrated circuit/packet switched communications network
Kenneth R. Hebert, Udo W. Pooch · 1986
This research addresses the analysis of an event-driven FORTRAN Simulation Model that simulates a special kind of Computer-Communication network. The network modeled has a circuit-switched communication subnet whose trunk lines carry both voice and data traffic simultaneously. This effort considers the viability of routing strategies as a mechanism for reducing congestion. The performance of seven alternative routing strategies are measured in terms of user-visible metrics.
