- 5. •This traffic model has a data rate that does not change. •The avg data rate and the peak data rate are the same. •The maximum burst size is not applicable. • Traffic is very easy for a network to handle since it is predictable. •The network knows in advance how much bandwidth to allocate for this type of flow. Constant Bit rate
- 6. • The rate of the data flow changes in time. • The changes are smooth instead of sudden and sharp. • The average data rate and the peak data rate are different. • Traffic is more difficult to handle than previous traffic. Variable Bit rate
- 7. • The data rate changes suddenly in a very short time. • It may also remain at this value for a while. • The average bit rate and the peak bit rate are very different values in this type of flow. • The maximum burst size is significant. • The profile is very unpredictable hence it is difficult to handle. Bursty
- 9. Congestion
- 10. Congestion •Congestion in a network may occur if load exceeds capacity. •In other words the number of packets sent to the network is greater the number of packets a network can handle. •This occurs because routers and switches have buffers and packets are stored into them.
- 11. Congestion •Congestion happens in any system that involves waiting. •Congestion happens on a freeway because any abnormality in the flow. Such as:- •If the rate of packet arrival is higher than the packet processing rate, the input queues become longer and longer. •Second, if the packet departure rate is less than the packet processing rate, the output queues become longer and longer.

- 15. Delay • If load is less than the capacity of the network, then delay is at a minimum • Here minimum delay = propagation delay + processing delay but they are negligible. • Delay increases when the load reaches capacity of network. Because there is more waiting time in queues(earlier). • Delay = Infinite(!) when load > capacity of network.
- 16. Throughput • It is the number of packets passing through the network in a unit of time. • If load is below then capacity of the network, the throughput increases proportionally w/load. • When load reaches the capacity, the throughput declines sharply. • The reason is the discarding of packets by the routers and it leads to retransmission.
