Development of simulation model: An ethernet case study in heterogeneous environment

We present a novel approach for the measurement and estimation of network traffic utilization between network nodes in heterogeneous environment. We propose an enhanced equation to evaluate the performance of network interface via little law and queuing theories to improve the evaluation algorithm. To get accuracy results on the performance of simulation model, we verify and validate data from local area network (real network environment). We use network management tool to capture those data and Fluke Optiview device to generate traffic. As a result, this simulation model can provide a good approximation of the real traffic observed in the real network environment.
