The work of the WG is directed towards improving the state of the art of performance evaluation of new and existing communication systems.

cope

• Analysis of the performance (i.e. throughput, response time, buffer occupancy distributi on, etc.) of various aspects of current communication networks, such as ATM (Asy nchronous Transfer Mode) networks, wireless networks, and LANs/MANs
• Congestion and call admission control in communication systems
• Performance evaluation of future high-speed networks as they would be deployed over optical switch ing networks
• Performance evaluation of internetworking devices
• Analysis of protocol enhancement for LANs/MANs
• Traffic characterization of existing and future networks an d services
• Monitoring and tuning communication systems, for better performance
• Knowledge acquisition for performance evaluation of communication systems
• Development of relevant performance evaluation techniques, as motivated by real-life communication systems
• Understanding the performance of communication software systems as they interact with kernels, and applications such as multimedia
• Analysis of future networks that will become possible when link capacity becomes "cheap and unlimited"
