| Abstract | This thesis presents a simulation study of the performance
of the Token Ring local area network when it is subjected to
real-time traffic in addition to nonreal-time traffic. The
simulation model was developed based on the IEEE 802.5 Token Ring
standard which employs the optional priority mechanism described
in this standard. Real-time traffic are characterized as those
which are guaranteed to be delivered within a prespecif ied delay
upperbound. Real-time packets delivered after its deadline are
considered lost. Network parameters such as the number of nodes
that support real-time traffic" the packet sizes of both realtime and nonreal-time packets, and the percentage of real-time
traffic in the network were varied in order to demonstrate their
effect on the mean delay and throughput performance of the realtime Token Ring LAN. In addition, it is shown in this thesis
that the Token Ring network is able to cope with the requirements
of present real-time application. |
