Comparison of switch controlling alternatives

Abstract

Besides the other parts, advanced communication networks also contain switches. These networks and these switches must guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) and a comparison of switch controlling alternatives is the main aim of this paper. Two alternatives applicable for switch controlling — classical method and using of neural network for this purpose are designed and simulated. Both models are simulated by MATLAB-SIMULINK environment for four differential QoS demands, a web server, an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) server, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) user and a printer. A comparison of Switch Controlling alternatives shows that controlling by neural network is faster than classic method and using of neural networks for this purpose is more useful.
