Abstract
The authors consider queuing delay versus throughput performance for playthrough rings. The playthrough data-link-layer protocol is a multiserver distributed control mechanism that allows concurrent message transfer. They present simulation data comparing performance for four queuing disciplines. They also present a simple analysis to predict the throughput value at which the queuing system saturates. A comparison is made of analytical and simulation results for both playthrough and token, and the average performance of playthrough rings is found to be superior.<>
