Abstract :
This paper presents an analytical model using stochastic Petri nets for the performance of a priority based real-time protocol that uses data-link layer message logging for fast recovery in the event of station crashes. The advantage of using message logging at the data-link layer over traditional higher layer recovery mechanisms is demonstrated
