Abstract :
The author studies connection-oriented (CO) and connectionless (CL) logical link control (LLC) protocols in a satellite packet communication network using time division multiple access (TDMA). Two types of CO-LLC protocols (types A and B) and one type of CL-LLC protocol are considered. The type B CO-LLC protocol is analyzed by means of equilibrium point analysis (EPA). Numerical results are given for comparison purposes. The author compares the performances of the three LLC protocols in terms of throughput and average response time. In the comparison, he focuses on the overhead due to connection establishment/termination in the CO-LLC protocols and buffer overflow in the CL-LLC protocol. He examines how buffer capacity and network load affect the performance, and which of the three protocols is the best protocol for any given system environment
