Abstract :
An analytical model is presented to evaluate the throughput of synchronous traffic and asynchronous traffic. This model can be used to evaluate the throughput of individual priority classes and the mean token-cycle time of the network. A method of selecting timers to support integrated synchronous and asynchronous traffic in FDDI (fiber distributed data interface) is presented. Simulations are used to verify the analytical model. Simulation results are also used to examine the variation of the mean message-delay characteristics of various classes. Limitations of the model are outlined
