Token Bus Standard under Heavy Load

چکیده
It has become clear in the last few years that there is a trend towards integrated digital services. P d e l to the development of public Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is service integration in the local area (e.g. a campus, a building, an aircraft). The types of services to be integrated depend very much on the specific local environment. However, applications tend to generate data t&c belonging to one of two classes. According to IEEE 802.4 terminology, the first major class of traffic is termed synchronous, such as packetized voice and data generated from other applications with real-time constraints, and the second c ias is cdied asynchronous which includes most computer data traffic such as file transfer or facsimile. In this report, we examine the IEEE 802.4 token bus protocol which has been designed to support both synchronous and asynchronous traffic. The protocol is basically a timercontrolled token bus access scheme. By a suitable choice of the design parameters, it can be shown that access delay is bounded for synchronous traffic. As well, the bandwidth allocated to asynchronous traffic can be controlled. We present a throughput analysis of the protocol under heavy load with constant channel occupation of synchronous traffic and constant token-passing times.

Buzz-Net: A Hybrid Token/Random Access LAN
Buzz-net is a local network supported by a pair of unidirectional buses to which stations are connected via passive interfaces. The access protocol is a hybrid which combines random access and virtual token features. More precisely, the network operates in random access mode at light load and virtual token mode at heavy load. Because of the virtual token implementation, Buzz-net retains high ef...
متن کاملThe IEEE token bus-A performance bound on GM MAP - Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transactions on
All versions of the General Motors Manufacturing Automation Protocol (GM MAP) specify that MAP’S lower layer services are to be provided by the IEEE 802.4 token bus. An understanding of 802.4 and its performance aspects is therefore prerequisite to predicting the performance of MAP. We show how total bus capacity is divided among data throughput, token traffic, and propagation delays. We show t...
متن کاملAn Access Protection Solution For Heavy Load Unfairness in DQDB
This paper discusses the unfairness issue arising in a 802.6 DQDB network at high loads-when the traffic demand to a bus exceeds the capacity of that bus. As per the 802.6 protocol, at heavy loads, the end nodes along a bus experience longer delays than the other nodes. The origin and remedy of this heavy load unfairness is discussed. An access control scheme is proposed as a solution. The comp...

There has been an increasing need of timely and predictable communication services for embedded real-time systems in automated factories and industrial process controls. Work has been done on real-time communication with deadline guarantees in point-to-point, token bus/token ring/FDDI, and DQDB (Distributed Queue Dual Bus) networks. However, due to the random access nature of the CSMA/CD type m...
متن کاملA load awareness medium access control protocol for wireless ad hoc network
A contention-based wireless ad hoc medium access control (MAC) protocol, such as carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), has the excellence of simple and efficient when the system is light-loaded. The main drawback of such protocols is their inefficiency and unbounded delay when system load is heavy. On the other hand, a contention-free MAC protocol, such as token pass...
