Abstract

We propose a variant of the IEEE 802.12 demand priority protocol, the timer based burst mode (TB) protocol in which an end system is allowed to transmit a burst of frames per request. The selection of the request is on the basis of the time it arrives at the hub port. A grant from the hub has a burst size associated with it. An end system is allowed to transmit as long as its burst quota is not quenched. The performance of the proposed protocol has been evaluated using simulation modeling and it has been verified that the burst mode protocol outperforms the standard demand priority protocol for Gb/s links
