Abstract

Any communication service in a fault-tolerant distributed real-time systems must provide a short latency, a minimal latency jitter, and support the property of replica determinism. The paper discusses the requirements for real-time communication protocols and points out that there are fundamental conflicts in protocol objectives. It then analyzes the media access control mechanism of a number of protocols proposed for distributed real-time systems in relation to the stated requirements. Finally, the protocol properties are compared
