Performance Evaluation by Simulation and Analysis with Applications to Computer Networks [PDF ebook] 

This book is devoted to the most used methodologies for
performance evaluation: simulation using specialized software and
mathematical modeling. An important part is dedicated to the
simulation, particularly in its theoretical framework and the
precautions to be taken in the implementation of the experimental
procedure. These principles are illustrated by concrete
examples achieved through operational simulation languages
(OMNe T ++, OPNET). Presented under the complementary
approach, the mathematical method is essential for the simulation.
Both methodologies based largely on the theory of probability and
statistics in general and particularly Markov processes, a reminder
of the basic results is also available.
