Figure 6 shows the simulation results for the throughput. In Fig. 6, x. indicates the offered load corresponding to the present analytical results.
According to the simulation, the maximum throughput is 1.868 Mbps when the offered load is 1.900 Mbps.
Comparison of the analytical and simulated results reveals that the maximum throughput obtained in the simulation differs from that obtained through the analysis.
However, the stable throughput for the high offered load in the simulation is approximately the same as that obtained in the analysis. In the simulation results, the stable throughput is 1.575 Mbps.
