Abstract :
We present a new approach for analyzing token ring LANs. The token ring model presented supports the behavior obtained from actual ring measurements. Using this model, employing deterministic bounds analysis techniques, we prove several theorems which lead to some interesting conclusions that support observed ring performance. The results obtained give insight into practical behavior of a token ring environments
