A Strategy to Support Bandwidth Hungry Applications Over the Cloud

Bandwidth management over the cloud has become very essential today due to the increased utilization of real time traffic. Further inter-networking of physical devices over the internet, popularly called Internet of Things (IoT) to collect and exchange their data, added extra emphasis to the resource management over cloud for the designer. When two nodes in a computer network are not connected by a direct link, they are connected by the use of a switch. Packet switching is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data into suitably sized blocks, called packets, which are transmitted via a medium that may be shared by multiple simultaneous communication sessions. In such a network if two or more than two nodes tries to send their packets at the same time, there is a possibility of collision to be occurred. In this paper an attempt has been made to get optimized performance in the context of collision count and several other parameters using a simulation model. Simulation results have been obtained and analysed by varying the number of nodes in the packet switched network.
