Efficient Simulation Technique for Performance studies of of CSMA/CD Local Networks

Abstract

A new simulation technique is presented for performance studies of local area networks which use CSMA/CD as the access protocol. The method requires partitioning the network stations into a few primary stations and the remainder as background stations

Notes

An early example of the partition style hybrid technique. A CSMA/CD network, ethernet for example, is modeled. Primary nodes are simulated by discrete events. Nodes of less interest - background nodes - are simulated analytically. Two variations are proposed: in the first primary nodes are affected by the background, but not vice versa; in the second method, both types interact.
