Abstract :
Analytical methods which incorporate actual IEEE 802 media access control (MAC) protocol standard requirements for frame structure, propagation delay, medium data rate, access method, etc., are discussed. Equations were derived and implemented in a computer program to compare the performance of the IEEE 802.3, 802.4, and 802.5 protocols. Delay, throughput, and efficiency are used as a metric for the comparison
