An Analytical Approach to the Efficient Real-Time Events/Services Handling in Converged Network Environment

Converged network seamlessly integrates different communications media such as data, voice and multimedia on a single platform. It refers to convergence both types of network and technologies as well as convergence between the different layers of network architecture. In this paper, we examine a priority-based queuing model and perform the mathematical analysis of different media calls processing in converged network environment. We use for this purpose a queuing system model M3/G3/1/NPRP in order to process effectively input jobs/requests (or packets). Tasks within this queuing system get a higher priority if they are handling a real-time event. We present in our paper mathematical results of the expected response and waiting time, and build hypothetical diagrams for the further practical usage in real-time system. A modeling method developed in this paper will be used for the fast configuration and testing of new converged network applications and services.
