Evaluation of Private Networks
Ronald Kaufman, Ardvin Kester · Bell System Technical Journal · 1982
This paper describes algorithms for predicting end-to-end performance measurements in private networks. Service characteristics such as end-to-end blocking and delay are calculated based on point-to-point traffic data and a network routing guide. These techniques have been incorporated in the Enhanced Network Administration System. The system is routinely used by AT&T Long Lines and operating company network administrators for private network design and evaluation.
