Abstract

Resilient packet ring (RPR) is a new technology has just been standardized as IEEE 802.17 for metropolitan area networks (MAN). RPR can be regarded as a buffer (or register) insertion ring. Thus, the buffer size configuration is very important to the performance of RPR. Currently, it is lacked for its theoretic analysis. In this paper, we initiated RPR´s queue length into queuing theory and investigated their relations with throughput and number of nodes. The results are very close to those of engineering. It also turns out some new points such as queue length does not increase linearly with number of nodes as in our imagination
