 OBJECTIVES

The objective of the lecture is to introduce in the most important models for telecom and computer networks analysis, design and dimensioning. The student gets an understanding on most important network performance parameters as blocking, loss, delay, jitter etc. under both legacy traffic typically Poisson as modern traffic phenomena happens by internet traffic. The student should get the faculty to use analytical models ranging from Marov up to Semimarkov queuing and loss models and applying them on current and future network architecture.

 SYLLABUS
  Lesson I: Introduction to the Network Architecture Models.

Introduces the layered model of the OSI/ISO and the functional model of the ITU-T and exposes a resume over the most important network architectures.

  Lesson II: Mathematical Models for Stochastic and Combinational Problems.

The second chapter exposes principles mathematical models for stochastic and combinatorial problems. It deduce the discrete and continuous Markov chain with application to source traffic description and the general birth death process and the regenerator formulas in the steady state condition are introduced.

  Lesson III: Queueing Systems.

It exposes in more queuing models ranging from M/M/1 M/M/S up M/G/1 for infinite sources and finite source models of M/M/S/M/K+S>M. The Erlang loss model M/G/S/S is introduced and the expanded Erlang loss model for multiple services is deduced and finally the Engset loss model for limited sources.

  Lesson IV: Queueing Networks.

The fourth chapter treats queuing networks, the special case of the Jackson network and traffic routing in loss network.

  Lesson V: Routing IP.

The fifth chapters introduce into the IP network model and corresponding routing protocols like RIP, OSFP and BGP.
