Modeling and simulation for Network Data Access System

NDAS(Network Data Access System) is a system that interconnects high speed network(B-ISDN) and Local Area Network(Ethernet, FDDI). Nowadays, the request of multimedia data increases rapidly, so NDAS system must accept and process that request efficiently. Comparing with normal data traffic characteristics, multimedia data traffic characteristics are much complex, so it is necessary to implement the system that can cover such factor. In this paper, we suggest a NDAS hardware system model and also we propose a proper buffer size of NDAS system through the simulation. For measuring the proper buffer size of NDAS, we assumed two different simulation models, one is the case of using only one buffer and the other is the case of using two different buffers for Ethernet and FDDI, respectively. After comparing and analyzing simulation results, we suggest the proper NDAS system buffer size.
