Performance Parameter

When we conduct a simulation study , what we really want is the network performance of certain network.

There are four main basic parameter for network analysis

1) Delay
Measurement of how long the packet will travel from source to destinations

2) Jitter
Measurement of variations of delay

3) Packet Loss
Measurement how many packet dropped

4) Throughput
How many packets successfully sent to the

The network performance parameter can be measured at:

1) from end to end
2) between two nodes

The network performance can also be differentiated between traffic type or for all traffic.
