Abstract

We analyze the performance of a telecommunications management network (TMN) system using models of networks of queues, Jackson's theorem, and simulation. TMN systems for managing public asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks generally have a four-level hierarchical structure consisting of a network management system, a few element management systems (EMSs), and several pairs of agents and ATM switches. We construct a Jackson's queuing network and present formulae to calculate its performance measures: distributions of queue lengths and waiting times, mean message response time, and maximum throughput. We perform a numerical analysis and a simulation analysis and compare the results.
