Chapter 4Simulation and analytical modelling pcontention-based access region and the performance of the exponential backoffalgorithm or the splitting tree algorithm. A less complicated theoretical model has beenformulated for the purposes of validation of the simulation model. Such a model wasbased on an M/G/1 queuing system for a single node scenario. This model addressedone of the fundamental performance properties of computer communications protocols,which relates to the mean packet access delays and maximum sustainable throughput ofa station.Results obtainable using the simulation model for the DVB/DAVIC protocol were ingood agreement with theoretical results, with a maximum deviation of 4% for meanaccess delays and 2% for throughput. We also found that the DVB/DAVIC protocol ishighly inefficient when short data packets are transmitted, achieving only ≈ 224 kbps(≈ 4% of the channel capacity) when 64-byte packets are delivered.For a larger number of nodes, we have also provided some theoretical bounds that couldbe used to estimate the maximum system throughput sustainable by the DVB/DAVIC’supstream channel for different traffic loads and protocol configurations.4-36
