Abstract :
The authors model delay-throughput performance of high- and low-priority message transfer on PLAYTHROUGH rings and compare analytical approximations to simulation results. Both analytical and simulation results show that high-priority messages gain rapid access to the ring independently of low-priority traffic intensity. The analytical model predictions for both service time and queueing time are in good agreement with simulation results for both priority classes. The models presented are completely analytical and do not rely on curve fitting of simulation data to predict message waiting time
