Standby memory performance of a mini/micro computer in a computer communication system

the utilization of computer communication systems for distributed information processing is growing very fast due to the reduction of transmission time and cost. Keeping in view the user's demand for simultaneous transmission of documents and burst messages in a large user resource-sharing mode, a system model mainly consisting of a mini/micro computer and a switching mechanism is presented. The standby memory performance of the mini/micro computer is analyzed with facsimile and burst data input, synchronous transmission and random server interruption through Bernoulli sequences, and its performance is studied in terms of overflow probability and average queueing delay. Some of the computed results are portrayed in graphs for the use of computer communication system designer's as guidelines.
