ABSTRACT
The transient behaviour and accuracy of the Statistical Synchronisation Method (SSM) is studied in a practically important case. An existing high-speed network (two interconnected FDDI Rings) is simulated accurately. The topology, cable lengths and the offered load is taken from the real system. The simulation is performed with and without SSM, and the results are compared.
We conclude that the simulation with SSM is a bit less accurate, but it opens up the possibility for an efficient parallel execution which can be easily implemented.
