LAN Environment |
The simplest Computing Device model is the Printer equipment model. This model cannot generate independent data packets; therefore, its primary use in a LAN simulation is as a final destination for data packets from other Computing Device models. A sample control panel for a Printer model is shown in Figure 4.6.
delay = MinDelay * ( PacketSize * [Delay/Byte] )
Note that there is nothing in this model specific to a printer and since a Printer model can only be a destination, its properties (processor delays and bus speed) affect only the routing protocol packets this model originates. As with all Computing Device models, you can display a window with processor traffic statistics using the OptionsStatistics selection from its pop-up menu.
