Abstract :
A fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) ring is modeled as a polling system with an exhaustive queuing discipline. Mean waiting times for both synchronous and asynchronous frames are derived by pseudoconservation law based approximation. Simulation results show that, from the viewpoint of polling systems, the FDDI protocol has the property of minimum delay time
