We focus on performance study of routers in high‐speed network through a queuing network analytical model. Such a model gives accurate results about classical performance criteria. For example, analytical study of packet loss probabilities in a router uses a product‐form queuing network. The analytical results are compared to simulation results, and they provide routers managers with invaluable information for internal memories tuning.
