Abstract

Large scaled distributed systems require many connections between various elements which constitute them. Accordingly, they use communication networks. With the growth of communication networks, severe congestion problems appeared. To avoid dropping packets and then guarantee the needs of distributed systems in terms of quality of service, some algorithms were put into TCP. Some interesting results can be obtained by studying the loop time of data in transit in a transmission line. This paper presents a method to determine the buffer size from the data loop time. The whole model of a transmission line subjected to algorithms of control is hybrid. Thus, the chosen modeling tool is a hybrid Petri nets.
