Title: | Delay time computation for an active star topology local area network | Authors: | JANSSENS, Gerrit K. | Issue Date: | 1994 | Publisher: | Elsevier Science B. V. | Source: | Microprocessing and microprogramming, 40(4). p. 241-248 | Abstract: | Fiber optic local area networks are nowadays widely available for data transport. Different topologies have been proposed, such as a bus, a ring or a star. A star topology, called Hubnet, has been developed at the University of Toronto. It uses a medium access protocol in which collisions are avoided, i.e. the throughput is an increasing function of the offered load. A model is developed in which the delay is investigated as a function of the throughput. The model is compared with a regenerative stochastic analysis and is validated by means of a simulation model and real-life measurements. | Keywords: | Local area network; Stochastic modelling; Simulation | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/6200 | DOI: | 10.1016/0165-6074(94)90132-5 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
