Analytic Modeling of an Adapter to Local Area Networks
Abstract
A model of an adapter to a local area network is used to study the timing problem associated with the reception of back-to-back frames from a multiaccess transmission medium. The conditions under which frames are received successfully are presented. Analytic results are also obtained for the probabilities that frames are lost and a given number of back-to-back frames is successfully received. Numerical results illustrating the effect of the various design parameters on adapter performance are discussed. Copyright © 1984 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
