Abstract
Within the framework of computational experiments, burst and limiting modes of multiuser network control are analysed when flows are transmitted along the shortest routes. A method of approximating the set of admissible inter-node flows and a procedure for obtaining multi-parametric estimates of the system performance are proposed. In the limiting mode, all edges of the network are fully loaded and the maximum possible total inter-node flow is achieved. In the burst mode, the distribution of flows from each node is carried out without taking into account the other correspondents. The found values allow us to determine the allowable loads and specific costs of flow transmission. On the basis of the calculated outgoing node multiflows, an approximation of the set of allowable inter-node flows is constructed. Different ways of graphical representation of experimental results and display of metric estimates are given. Networks with different structural features and the same total capacity are investigated.
