Abstract:

Aiming at overcoming the shortcomings of static and partiality in traditional network evaluation methods,based on multidimensional matterelement models, we propose a dynamic network performance evaluation method.This method is discussed from the aspects of multidimensional matterelement models of network evaluation,indicator system of network evaluation,and policies of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process.A campus network example shows that the evaluation method helps network managers track and monitor network operation dynamically and quantitatively,and improve the users’ability to observe and controll the network.
