Abstract :
The real-time facilities of existing local area networks (LANs) which primarily address the needs of non-real-time data traffic are reviewed. An architecture called Instanet is introduced to support the needs of distributed real-time systems. Instanet incorporates a logically separate channel to arbitrate on the access rights of different priorities of traffic. An overview of the Instanet architecture is given, and analytical and simulation results of its performance under different traffic loadings are presented
