This in turn requires algorithms for generating random number sequences. This article evaluates several random number generation algorithms considered for emulating traffic over NBSNET, a local area computer network at the National Bureau of Standards. The algorithms are evaluated in light of certain time, space, and programming constraints dictated by NBS's application. The table-based method, using an additive uniform random number generator for selection from the table, was determined to be a satisfactory method considering NBSNET's constraints, and is being used to generate artificial traffic for continuing local network research experimentation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100316,"journal":{"name":"Computer Networks (1976)","volume":"7 4","pages":"Pages 233-251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0376-5075(83)90016-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73104954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
