Modeling Components for Cut-Through Performance Analysis of Network Switches
Marat Zhanikeev · 2020
There are several existing models which describe a given aspect of network performance. Leaky bucket is a good model for analysis and visualization of dynamics within a packet queue. Fluid models exist for analysis of larger aggregates of packet traffic. This paper argues that modeling of contention in network equipment has become important in recent years. The original contribution of this paper is in the form of several components with major focus on cut-through which can be used for modeling and analysis of contention in network switches.
