Dynamic Relevance Filtering In Asynchronous Transfer Mode-Based Distributed Interactive Simulation Exercises, David T. Hightower Dec 1996

Dynamic Relevance Filtering In Asynchronous Transfer Mode-Based Distributed Interactive Simulation Exercises, David T. Hightower

Theses and Dissertations

As Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) exercises continue to grow in scale, the need to support a large number of players has become apparent. The demands on the network and the simulation hosts in large exercises, though, have proved to be prohibitive, requiring significant computational overhead to filter through the information and extract what is relevant to a particular simulation. Some mechanism is needed to reduce irrelevant network traffic received by a system, while increasing the bandwidth available for the DIS exercise. Previous research efforts in this area have centered primarily on fixed geographic partitions of the battlespace to reduce the …


Performance Study Of A Brazilian Air Force Data Communications Network, Oswaldo Zanelli Jun 1996

Performance Study Of A Brazilian Air Force Data Communications Network, Oswaldo Zanelli

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis consists of a performance analysis of two network models using different protocols, the X.25 and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). X.25 is currently used in the data communications network infrastructure in the Brazilian Air Force. ATM is a high speed network technology. Simulations of both models were performed to compare the two technologies. This study examines the traffic load that each network can handle while still providing a good quality of service (QoS). The X.25 network model proved to have a sufficient capacity to handle the projected workload, but it presented a low QoS when a more intense traffic …
