Which three conditions must be satisfied by a network before one can assert that it is successful and effective? Let's disassemble it and go through each component in turn, shall we?

Can you name the three most important factors for a functional and productive network? Put it in your own words and show what you mean.

3. Consider the M/M/1 queue discussed in class. Assume that packets arrive to a queue with average arrival rate A [pkts/s]. The average service rate of the queue is denoted by u [pkts/s]. (a) Write expressions for: (i) the mean time between packet arrivals to the queue, i.e., the average inter-arrival time; and (ii) the mean service time, i.e., the average time needed to transmit a packet onto the outgoing link. (b) Let N denote the number of packets in the system in steady-state. Suppose A = 850 and u 1000. Find the smallest value of B such that P(N > B) < e = 10¬4. Hint: Use MATLAB or some other computational tool (you could even use an Excel spreadsheet) to test different values of B. 4. Consider the M/M/1 queue from Problem 3. (a) Find an expression for E[N], i.e., the average number of packets in the system in steady- state. For the values of A and µ specified in Problem 4(b), compute the value of E[N]. What happens when A→ µ? (b) Find an expression for Var[N], i.e., the variance…

A network must satisfy three criteria in order to be considered functional. Please give me a brief description of one in your own terms.
