Abstract:
It is well-known that an FDDI token ring network provides a guaranteed throughput for synchronous messages and a bounded medium access delay for each node/station. However, this fact alone cannot e ectively support many real-time applications that require the timely delivery of each critical message. The reason for this is that the FDDI guarantees a medium access delay bound to nodes, but not to messages themselves. The message-delivery delays may exceed the medium-access delay bound even if a node transmits synchronous messages at a rate not greater than the guaranteed throughput. We solve this problem by developing a synchronous bandwidth allocation (SBA) scheme which calculates the synchronous bandwidth necessary for each application to satisfy its message-delivery delay requirement. The result obtained in this paper is essential for e ective use of the FDDI token ring networks in supporting such real-time communications as digital video/audio transmissions and distributed control/monitoring. To be submitted to IEEE Trans. on Networking.
