Abstract:

We investigate the inherent timing properties of the timed token protocol which is necessary to guarantee synchronous message deadlines in a timed token ring network such as FDDI (Fibre Distributed Data Interface) where the timed token medium access control (MAC) protocol is employed. As a result, an exact upper bound, which is tighter than previously published, on the elapse time between any number of successive token arrivals at a particular node has been derived. Based on the exact protocol timing property, an optimal synchronous bandwidth allocation scheme named EMCA (Enhanced MCA) for guaranteeing synchronous messages with deadlines equal to periods in length, is proposed. This scheme is an enhancement on previously published MCA scheme.
