A Parallel Processing Architecture For Dqdb Protocol Implementation, Nilesh Vinubhai Gandhi
A Parallel Processing Architecture For Dqdb Protocol Implementation, Nilesh Vinubhai Gandhi
Theses
The high bandwidth transmission links, which have been provided by the advances of Fiber Optics Technology, reduce drastically the packet transmission times and place new demands on the nodal protocol processing. Segmentation and reassembly of packets, computation of checksums, introduction of source and destination addresses, etc., must be performed extremely fast in order to prevent node processing from becoming the bottleneck of the transmission. Parallel processing enables the execution of the previous tasks on multiple packets simultaneously and therefore has the potential of addressing the issue of fast node processing successfully. In this thesis we focus on the Medium Access …
An Efficient Guaranteed Bandwidth And Balancing Mechanism For High Speed Mans, Venediktos Hadjisavvas
An Efficient Guaranteed Bandwidth And Balancing Mechanism For High Speed Mans, Venediktos Hadjisavvas
Theses
The Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) has become the IEEE 802.6 stan-dard for Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). The main advantage of DQDB is that its throughput performance is not affected by the network parameters such as size, number of connected stations, or channel bandwidth. Its main drawback is that the location of the stations on the bus strongly affects their performance. For this reason a Bandwidth Balancing Mechanism (BBM_DQDB) has been proposed and included in the 802.6 standard that can provide the requested bandwidth by the lightly loaded stations and evenly distribute the remaining bandwidth among the overloaded stations. The …
Modeling And Performance Of Token Bus Lan With Petri Nets, Zhenggang Pan
Modeling And Performance Of Token Bus Lan With Petri Nets, Zhenggang Pan
Theses
A token bus local area network (LAN) is analyzed by Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPN). The GSPN models of both a single station and LAN for four types of service schemes are obtained and their liveness property is proved. The network performance parameters comprise throughput and delay. The performance analysis for both symmetric and asymmetric single-service systems is conducted for varying load. In order to analyze a token bus LAN with a large number of stations, an approximation method is developed to resolve the .state space explosion problem. A token bus LAN with twenty-one stations is used to show the …
Interconnection Of X.25 Networks, Syed Ayaz Qutubuddin Ahmed
Interconnection Of X.25 Networks, Syed Ayaz Qutubuddin Ahmed
Theses
The purpose of this work was to investigate the performance of two interconnected X.25 networks via CCITT internet protocol X.75. Since internet protocol X.75 follow the same flow approach as X.25, we are allowed to model the acknowledgement queue in such a way that this queue provides a feed back path from destination to the source queue. Thus we are able to model our interconnected network as a closed queueing network with limited number of packets in transit within the network. Mean Value Analysis with Blocking (MVA) algorithm was applied to obtain the performance characteristics as the resources available were …
