Investigation of communication parameters based on monitoring and statistical modelling

For the effective construction of a network infrastructure, it is recommended to carry out a preliminary investigation of communications and information processing by using suitable methods and tools. In this regard, the article deals with an approach applied in the investigation of network communications in a local network structure based on program monitoring and statistical analysis of the measured data. To specify the research object and the means used, the organization of the network structure is presented, and a brief discussion of sample monitoring programs is made. The organization for the conducted program monitoring is presented and main factors of network communications are defined. Statistical modelling approach is used to investigate selected parameters of communication in the network environment. Some obtained statistical assessments are presented which permit to make conclusions for access and communication organization.
