               SYSTEMS SEMINAR - Friday, November 26, 1982.

               Dr. J.A. Barchanski of Universite  de  Montreal  will
               speak on "On Evaluation of Transport Protocol Perfor-
               mance in the Context of an Interuniversity Computer".

               ABSTRACT

               In an introduction, the configuration, the components
               and  the  logical  architecture of an interuniversity
               computer network will be  presented.   The  transport
               protocol  agreed  for  implementation  in the network
               will be reviewed shortly, followed by an  explonation
               of  its performance monitoring.  As a sequel a set of
               performance parameters proposed for evaluation of the
               protocol implementations will be presented.  Then the
               relationship between these parameters and the perfor-
               mance parameters of the lower layers protocols imple-
               mented in the network will be discussed.  In the fol-
               lowing,  software,  hardware  and  hybrid measurement
               techniques will be characterized.  The tools  of  the
               selected  for the network software techniques will be
               reviewed and their applicability for the purposes  in
               point  analysed.   Finally,  it  will be shown how to
               evaluate practically some of the performance  parame-
               ters.
