Abstract
In this paper, an analytic approximation is derived for the end-to-end delay-jitter incurred by a periodic traffic with constant packet size. The single node case is considered first. It is assumed that the periodic traffic is multiplexed with a background packet stream under the FCFS service discipline. The processes governing the packet arrivals and the packet sizes of the background traffic are assumed to be general renewal processes. A very simple analytical approximation is derived and its accuracy is assessed by means of event-driven simulations. This approximation is then extended to the multiple node case yielding a simple analytical approximation of the end-to-end jitter. This approximation is shown to be fairly accurate in the light to moderate traffic conditions typically encountered in IP core networks.
