Wong, 1991) for gigabit-per-second local and metropolitan area networks (LANs and MANs). This protocol allows each station to transmit a number of consecutive slots up to the limit of a frame size. The protocol is extended by allowing the headend to modify the frame size dynamically according to the request traffic. The new dynamic frame-based DQDB protocol (DF-DQDB) can therefore give a better throughput performance for variable size messages. Various performance aspects of this protocol are studied through simulation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

The switching architecture relies on time division multiplexing an optically coupled tree-structured active routing stage.

The specific values regarding failure rates and times-to-repair come from experience gained within Telefonica's fiber network. Detailed Markov diagrams are given, making possible the evaluation of the effects that other figures of failure rates and times to repair would have on availability. The alternatives assessed include: connections with terminal-multiplexer redundancy; connections with terminal-multiplexers and cable-path redundancy; and connections with cable-path redundancy engineered with advanced photonic switching devices.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.

A new livelock-free prioritized CR rule, which is based on a packet's distance to the destination and the number of deflections suffered by it, is proposed. The performance-in terms of the average throughput, the average network delay and the delay distribution-of this CR rule is compared with those of other commonly used CR rules. Results show that prioritized CR rules improve the performance in networks using unbuffered deflection routing. It is observed that prioritized CR rules have hardly any effect on the performance of buffered deflection routing. These results suggest that using the random CR rule with output buffers is a better way to improve the performance than implementing complicated CR rules which sacrifice the switching speed inherent in deflection routing.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":343080,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference GLOBECOM '91: Countdown to the New Millennium.
