Utilization factor of a distributed system based on an Ethernet network

This paper presents a distributed system connected with an Ethernet network. All the processes and all the processors are identical. The only two resources that processes need are processors and communication among them. The goal is to obtain the utilization factor of the processors for the distribution and the interprocess communication. The utilization factor can be deduced from an equivalent M/G/1/k model (where k is the number of processes in a processor). We describe a mathematical model for the interprocessor communications (Ethernet network).<
