Abstract

At high data transmission rates, the packet transmission time of a local area network (LAN) could become comparable to or less than the medium propagation delay. The performance of many LAN schemes degrades rapidly when the packet transmission time becomes small comparative to the medium propagation delay. This paper introduces LANs and discusses the performance degradation of LANs at high speeds. It surveys recently proposed LAN schemes designed to operate at high data rates, including their performance characteristics desirable in LAN medium access protocols are identified and discussed. The paper serves as a tutorial for readers less familiar with local computer communication networks. It also serves as a survey of the state-of-the-art LANs.

High-performance optical local and metropolitan area networks: enhancement of FDDI and IEEE 802.6 DQDB

The fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) and the IEEE 802.6 distributed queueing dual bus (DQDB) are emerging standards for high-speed (45-150-Mb/s) local and metropolitan area networks. The authors describe several ways to build on these emerging ...

Reviewer: William W. Oblitey

The authors survey the performance degradation of LANs with respect to the normalized medium propagation delay. They discuss various schemes under the broad categories of the bus, ring, star, tree, and multichannel topology LANs. For each LAN scheme, the authors discuss its maximum achievable channel utilization and address the advantages and disadvantages of employing it. This paper is different from other related papers on LAN performance in that it concentrates on recently proposed LAN schemes that are designed to operate at high data rates. It may be accepted by the networking community as an updated version of these LAN performance papers. The authors give the final mathematical equations for the maximum achievable channel utilization result of the various protocols and spare the reader their derivations.
