Throughput and Packet Delay Analysis for the H-Network: CSMA/CD with Adaptive and Nonadaptive Backoff Protocols

In this work, we present the structure of the H-Network, which is a high data rate (∼ 7 Mbytes/s) local area network used to provide point to point and broadcast communication for the Homogeneous Multiprocessor. We also present the analysis, and obtain the throughput and packet delay characteristics for the H-Network operating under CSMA/CD with adaptive and nonadaptive backoff protocols.
