On measurement facilities in packet radio systems

Published: 07 June 1976 Publication History

Abstract

The growth of computer networks has proven both the need for and the success of resource sharing technology. A new resource sharing technique, utilizing broadcast channels, has been under development as a Packet Radio system and will shortly undergo testing. In this paper, we consider that Packet Radio system, and examine the measurement tasks necessary to support such important measurement goals as the validation of mathematical models, the evaluation of system protocols and the detection of design flaws. We describe the data necessary to measure the many aspects of network behavior, the tools needed to gather this data and the means of collecting it at a central location; all in a fashion consistent with the system protocols and hardware constraints, and with minimal impact on the system operation itself.
