A System Response Time Model for Local Area Networks
Schneidewind_a_System.pdf (424.3Kb)Abstract
There are several issues that
confront LAN management with
respect to allocating servers and
files in a LAN. These are: How
many servers should be used for a
given number of user computers?
Should files be replicated on the
servers to provide better
performance or should the
available servers store different
files in order to maximize the
number and variety of programs on
the, LAN? What should be the
acceptable access times for
users, singly and simultaneously,
to access an application program,
with a given number of servers
and user computers? These issues
are analyzed as a problem in
optimization to determine the
optimal server/user computer
ratios and degree of file
replication for given access
times. Analytical and empirical
results are reported.
