Objectives
When designing or operating a network, it is important to know its properties and performance. The aim of this module is to study different tools for modelling and evaluating network performance.
- To know the necessary tools for network performance evaluation and design.
Learning Outcomes:
- Knowledge of graph theory
- To be able to implement a graph-based solution for a network problem
- To be familiar with the theory of discrete-time and continuous-time Markov chains
- To be familiar with the principles of simple queues and queuing networks and their modelling using Markov Chains to determine performance parameters (waiting time, occupancy rate, rejection, etc.)
- To be able to model a system using Markov chains and queuing networks. Be familiar with the principles of applying these tools to the active management of queues in routers.
