Abstract:High Speed Local Area Networks (HSLANs) operate at channel capacities of at least 100 Mbitls. Taking advantage of the progress in optical transmission technique the first HSLAN based on a token passing ring, namely FDDI, has now become commercially available. However, several other strategies to determine the token holding duration at a station may be applied (e.g. single service or exhaustive service). Thus, in this paper we evaluate and compare the performance of these token ring protocols for a high speed b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
