We present an application of the stochastically timed process algebra EMPAr to the performance modeling and analysis of an ATM switch. The switch is formally represented by means of a discrete time model based on the assumption of Bernoulli incoming traffic. Two algebraic descriptions are provided: the former concerns an ATM switch supporting UBR service only, the latter an ATM switch supporting UBR and ABR services. The two descriptions are then compared by automatically evaluating their performance by means of the EMPAr based software tool TwoTowers.

Abstract

We present an application of the stochastically timed process algebra EMPAr to the performance modeling and analysis of an ATM switch. The switch is formally represented by means of a discrete time model based on the assumption of Bernoulli incoming traffic. Two algebraic descriptions are provided: the former concerns an ATM switch supporting UBR service only, the latter an ATM switch supporting UBR and ABR services. The two descriptions are then compared by automatically evaluating their performance by means of the EMPAr based software tool TwoTowers.
