An overview of the computer networks currently being developed is presented. Three types of network design are distinguished - packet switching, line switching and Newhall loops. Reference is made to several models developed during the design of these networks, but only those concerned with packet switching are described in detail. A gueueing model emerges as a feasible alternative to the more expensive simulation models. This model is developed to include the basic logic of the message switching centres (nodes) and used as the backbone to a heuristic procedure that considers limited capacity buffers and blocking at the nodes.
Key words and phrases: Data transmission, computer nets, packet switching, switching centre, interactive computation, resource sharing, queueing network, Markovian queue, steady state. / Science, Faculty of / Computer Science, Department of / Graduate
