Description
This thesis investigates the waiting-time in a token-ring local area
network (LAN) with gated service discipline. It gives an analytical
approximati.on for a network with an arbitrary number of stations,
non-identical Poisson arrival streams and general service time
distributions at each station, and non-zero switch-over time (also
referred to as walking time) between adjacent stations. This
approximation method is an alternative to the complicated O(N^2) numerical evaluation of the waiting-time currently available in the
literature. Extensive simulation results with different parameters are
presented to show the degree of accuracy of the approximation, which is
generally good for a practical range of parameters.
