In this study, performance simulation model was developed and validated for a federal university in Malaysia. The effect of network parameters such as the processing time on throughput and utilization of the servers and switches on the network was investigated through simulations. In conclusion, results from the simulation model suggest some bottleneck nodes on the network. © 2011 IEEE. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84857090192&doi=10.1109%2fNatPC.2011.6136343&partnerID=40&md5=95259402ff2656fb964563747da1ad77 id_number: 10.1109/NatPC.2011.6136343 full_text_status: none publication: 2011 National Postgraduate Conference - Energy and Sustainability: Exploring the Innovative Minds, NPC 2011 place_of_pub: Perak refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781457718847 citation: Taiwo, A.A. and Ku-Mahamud, K.R. and Sajat, M.S.B.
