Conference 7.286::fddi

632.0. "Performance modelling/simulation" by LARVAE::WILLIAMS_G () Thu Jul 02 1992 13:43

    Hi,
    
    I have a customer who is developing an FDDI networked solution. They 
    currently have 8 DS5000 FDDI linked via concentrators. The final 
    solution will have 28 DS5000 and some 170 PCs (hooked to FDDI via 
    DECbridges).
    
    Is there anyone out there who can do some performance 
    modelling/simulation work (given much more information than above) for 
    me/my customer ? This is a very urgent request.
    
    They need to know what kind of network performance to expect under a 
    number of circumstances and when I pose questions through the normal 
    channels I get responses like - "Plug it altogether and try it out". 
    This is not possible so I am looking for someone to do some simulation 
    work - are there any tools available for this ?
    
    I can fund some time for this work to be done.
    
    Thanks,

    i know this is kind of late but i have been traveling and am just
    catching up. the new NETCW v3.0 models FDDI datalinks. somebody in your
    area should probably be trained on this. Don Lanoue does alot of these
    simulations for the U.S. area or you might want to talk to Russ
    Heinselman who is the technical manager for this the NETCW program...
    or copy it over and play with it yourself

    Ref .1:
    
    Can anyone give me the pointer to NETCW being referred in .1 ?
    
    Thanks,
    Surender

    the conference is HORUS::NETCW. pointers for the kit and doc are given
