Multiplexing a Shared Link Simulation

This illustrates three bursty connections sharing a link. The shared link uses statistical multiplexing with a fixed-size queue. Vary the burst parameters, queue capacity, and bandwidths, then send some packets and see what happens.

Edge Link

$R(A) = {RA:KBps}$

$R(B) = {RB:KBps}$

$R(C) = {RC:KBps}$

$F(B) = {FB}$ %

$F(C) = {FC}$ %

$R(X) = {RX:KBps}$

$Q(X)_cap = {QX}$ packets

Packet Size $L = {L:KB}$
Propagation Delay $D_prop = {Dprop:ms}$
A-X Transmission Delay $D(A)_xmit = L / R(A) = {DAxmit:ms}$
B-X Transmission Delay $D(B)_xmit = L / R(B) = {DBxmit:ms}$
C-X Transmission Delay $D(C)_xmit = L / R(C) = {DCxmit:ms}$
X-X' Transmission Delay $D(X)_xmit = L / R(X) = {DXxmit:ms}$
