An Evaluation of Network Response Time Using a Coloured Petri Net Model of Switched LAN

Tags:
local area networks (lan)

Overview The enterprise class model of switched LAN in the form of a coloured Petri net is represented. The components of the model are switches, servers and workstations. For the evaluation of network response time a special measuring workstation model is proposed. It counts response times for each request and calculates the average response time. For the simulation of network behaviour and accumulation of statistical information, CPN Tools was applied. Hierarchical nets usage allows the convenient representation of an arbitrary given structure of LAN.
