Abstract

A comparative evaluation of standard local area networks operating in time-constrained environments is performed. The analyzed protocols are token bus (IEEE 802.4), token ring (IEEE 802.5), and a modified version of CSMA/CD (carrier-sense multiple-access with collision detection) (IEEE 802.3). The priority disciplines necessary to make the systems crisis-free are discussed in connection with the relationships between the slot time, the number of nodes in the network, and their crisis times. In each case, the efficiency and the production of the system (in Mb/s) as functions of the length of the data field are determined
