Abstract

The author makes a performance comparison between a connection-oriented (CO) logical link control (LLC) protocol and a connectionless (CL) LLC protocol in a high-speed satellite packet network with the time-division-multiple-access (TDMA)-reservation multiple-access protocol. In particular, the way that the channel transmission rate affects the performance of the two LLC protocols is examined. The most suitable LLC protocol for any given system environment is determined. The comparison indicates that the CL-LLC protocol has more advantages over the CO-LLC protocol as the channel transmission rate increases and that the suitable region for the CL-LLC protocol becomes wider as the receiver-buffer capacity increases and as the network load decreases
