An approach to modeling performance evaluation on the ethernet with QoSparameters

This paper proposes an empirical approach to model the performance of Ethernet with QoS lQuality of Servicesr parameters. Hence, how to model the performance of Ethernet becomes a critical issue for the LAN implementation and operation. In the QoS approach, however, Ethernet network performance can be dynamically tuned by existing and enhanced operation parameters based on the current information status of the Ethernet LAN system. Consequently, Ethernet performance can be predicted and maintained through using the proposed methodology, and then to promote the system throughput. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
