Abstract

In the design of an Ethernet communication network for multiple classes of users, the appropriate choice of traffic load to be transmitted in the network is made so as not to degrade the quality of service of the particular network. This paper presents analysis of the influence of varying traffic (packet size) and the number of work stations in an Ethernet network. The major objective is to establish the influence of varying the traffic intensity and the network sizes of Ethernet quality of service parameters. It is found out that through put and utilization degrades slightly when the mean packet size is increased and the load is kept constant but collision and delay increases as the network increases. The analysis is presented using matlab modeling and simulation environment. The network was modeled and converted into MATLAB simulation model. The model was simulated and the results obtained were used to estimate the performance of the network using the quality of service parameters like collision, through put utilization and delay.
