CSMA/CD–Based Multiple Network Lines Dynamic Utilization Algorithm

ABSTRACT The 10Mbps Ethernet network has been widely used for interconnecting computers. Recent advances in computing technology have shown that the 10Mbps Ethernet network cannot support network intensive applications. High-speed networking devices are direct solution to the problem but are costly. Using multiple Ethernet networks to interconnect computers can provide performance improvement from a single 10Mbps Ethernet. In using multiple Ethernet networks, an algorithm must be developed to utilize multiple networks effectively.
