Abstract: A new model is presented for evaluating the performance of a degradable computer communication network with blocking, wherein network nodes are modeled with the generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) method. The authors introduce into the GSPN a concept called the blocking arc to enable proper simulation of the blocking phenomenon. Performance analyses are given for a degradable five-server blocking system which exactly match and extend previous results.
Keywords: performance modeling; degradable computer communication network; generalized stochastic net; degradable five-server blocking system; simulation (of the) blocking phenomenon.
