A study of a network capacity planning by analyzing joint probability of a virtual organization

Abstract

The network construction, in usage of virtual organization to gain collaborations of grid computing and organizations, is making gradual expansion. In order to achieve capacity planning in such environments, this study presents the measure for capacity planning of physical link in accordance with utility rates of the logical link. The presented algorithm draws the joint probability by processing the traffic per virtual organization measured within the physical link. Moreover, some circumstances were supposed to generate large quantities of random numbers that follow the normal distribution with different averages and standard deviations to confirm performance of the algorithm in verifying that the algorithm was not limited to the number of virtual organizations or bandwidth of the physical link.
