The major feature of this proposal is that the distributed operation of updating the queue is made atomic, so that the average bus access delay is equalized over the network. An equalized access gain is provided by mandating that a station waiting for transmission consider itself as positioned in the distributed queue only after a constant delay, which is needed for all the other stations to register the request of the first one. This delay is equal to the propagation time of the request along the entire bus. It is shown that under certain conditions the average access delay results in the one experienced in the distributed queue dual bus (DQDB) by those stations which are placed at the middle of the bus. Consequently, the global end-to-end delay remains much below the limits fixed by the CCITT for delay sensitive services. The actual average delay is even smaller than the one estimated due to the presence in the protocol of the stand-by mechanism which is the same as in the DQDB version. In comparison with the traditional DQDB, the increase in access-delay values is rewarded by the significant improvement in terms of fairness.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":122950,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings. 15th Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116500014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Congestion at bridges in a network is the primary cause of the degradation of the performance. An approach is investigated in which a secondary transmission link is added to the backbone ring of a network to form a double-linked backbone ring network. The effective processing speed of bridges for this double-linked backbone ring network is double that of the original single-linked backbone ring network. The increased processing speed of the bridges enhances the performance of the network. Experimental results show that the proposed double-linked backbond ring network substantially enhances the utilization, throughput, and response time compared to the original network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":122950,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings. 15th Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"13 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120807608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In comparison with the standard FDDI II, there is a gain in bandwidth of about 500 kb/s, deriving from simplification of the allocation procedure. This gain can be considered significant if the bandwidth is made totally available for asynchronous services, excepting a small part which has to be used for signaling the modification proposed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":122950,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings. 15th Conference on Local Computer Networks","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133350254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
