An Analysis of Buffering Techniques in Teleprocessing Systems
Abstract
Core buffers are used in teleprocessing systems for handling queueing and transfer of messages between all communication lines and queueing media. Management of data buffers for incoming and outgoing messages is an important task in running a real-time system at optimal efficiency. There are several factors that a system designer must consider in weighing the tradeoff of time and main storage. This paper deals with the analysis of several practical buffering techniques and provides procedures for determining the buffer size, which satisfies a prespecified probability of overflow.
