Scheduling Performance Evaluation and Testing Functions of a Connection-Oriented Packet Switching Processor
Juyoung Kim, Ki-Seok Choi · Journal of Korean Institute of Industrial Engineers · 2014
In a connection-oriented packet switching network, the data communication starts after a virtual circuit is established between source and destination. The virtual circuit establishment time includes the queue waiting times in the direction from source to destination and the other way around. We use this two-way queueing delay to evaluate scheduling policies of a packet switching processor through simulation studies. In this letter, we also suggest user testing functions for the packet switching processor to manage virtual circuits. By detecting error causes, the user testing helps the packet switching processor provide reliable connection-oriented services.
