Meaning: |
Most frequent special case of the GMDP (
GMDPDistribution ) for
modeling sources with multiple states (generally 2 - 5) in ATM networks |
Description: |
Like the GMDP(
GMDPDistribution ), the
MMDP can be described by a state machine with \(m\) states. Number of
arrivals \(X_i\) in the state \(i\) is distributed according to a shifted
geometric distribution. |
Characteristic values: |
Moments and distribution of the arrival intervals |
Parameters: |
-
number of states \(m\)
-
transition probabilities \(p_{ii}\)
-
average number of arrivals \(a_i\) in the individual states
-
arrival intervals \(d_i\) in the individual states
|
Parser example: |
[...].Dist = MMDPDistribution
[...].Dist.States = 3
[...].Dist.PMAP = [[0 0.5 0.5] [0.5 0 0.5] [0.5 0.5 0] ]
[...].Dist.MeanPhaseLengths = [145.5 11.11 55.55]
# negative value denotes silence state
[...].Dist.InterCellTimes = [-1 1274 255]
