Abstract: Wyle Data Services is a California-based company which operates a computer communications network for several clients. Using transaction count and message size data provided by Wyle, a cost-effectiveness exercise is performed to investigate alternative network architectures and capabilities. The foundation of the network analysis uses the steady slate queueing delay formulas for a single-server queue. A cost/delay analysis shows that considerable savings may be accrued with minimal damage to delay times from changing network processing speeds across the communications links.
