A simulation study of a CSMA/CD with connected data links

Abstract

Since local area networks (LANs) have become a vital part of the modern computing, a great deal of e#ort bar been devoted to their design, standarization, and implementation. Most of this work has been based on a simple linear bus or ring topology (Ethernet, Token Bus, and Token Ring). However, the linear bus and ring topology networks have sign&ant disadvantages in certain applications.Recently, we proposed a new hybrid architecture local area network, Hybrid-Meshnet.l&e Hybrid-
