A general AUTODIN and Automatic Switching Center (ASC) system
description is presented to orient the reader.
A GPSS model of the Communications Data Processor (CDP) at the
ASC was constructed, as a first step toward constructing an overall ASC
simulation model. The capabilities and limitations of the simulation are
discussed. Several experiments were conducted to ascertain the effects
on the CDP message congestion and transit time of varying the volume of
traffic passing through the system and the number of tributaries capable
of receiving traffic.
A COBOL program, which calculates queuing information for the ASC
tributaries, is described. The results of the program output are interpreted
and uses of the information produced are discussed. Observed
problem areas are presented.
Conclusions are drawn concerning the performance of the AUTODIN
ASC as shown by the simulation and program. Anticipated project applications
are described.
