The authors review analysis, simulation and measurement techniques, the three fundamental methods for performance evaluation in packet networks, looking at what's known, what's new and some outstanding issues. In trying to avoid re-reviewing material which has already been well summarised elsewhere, the authors concentrate on areas that are relatively new or possibly less generally well appreciated. So, under analysis, the focus is on models for network topologies and connectivity, and on wireless access. In the simulation section the focus is on techniques for scalable simulation for large-scale packet networks. Compared to the other two areas measurement is relatively new anyway, and more time is spent on motivation, techniques and some recently discovered limitations.
