| Abstract: | A single-hop OSI structured network with multiple layers of sliding window flow control and packet fragmentation between layers is analyzed. An approximation algorithm is presented to hierarchically reduce the network to a single queue whose performance characteristics represent the original network. Network transmission characteristics are restricted to Erlang distributions. Validation against exact and simulation results showed that the approximation algorithm has a satisfactory error level |
