The timely token protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
The token protocols in FDDI and FDDI-M support synchronous and asynchronous traffic. However, FDDI suffers from a token-lateness problem, and FDDI-M may starve asynchronous traffic. To remove these two weaknesses, we propose the timely-token protocol. The main feature of this protocol is the addition of information to the token so that each station may determine the reason of an early token arrival. Using this information, each station limits its asynchronous transmission to ensure that the token is not late at subsequent stations. In addition, we present a synchronous allocation scheme for this protocol. Finally, a comparison is made against FDDI and FDDI-M.

Design and Simulation of a Reliable Token-Ring Protocol for Realtime Communications
The key to the successful use of computer networks to support realtime communications is an adequate set of network communication protocols that ensure not only timely but also reliable message transmission. Traditional fault tolerance techniques may become invalid in a realtime environment as the latency introduced by those error recovery mechanisms may become unacceptably high. This paper pre...
متن کاملSelection of Timed Token Protocol Parameters
Networks that use the timed token protocol (such as the 100 Mbit/s FDDI network) are well suited for real-time applications because they guarantee, to each node, an average bandwidth and a bounded access time to the communication network. This guarantee is necessary but not suucient for the timely delivery of deadline-constrained messages; protocol parameters must be carefully selected to ensur...

متن کاملHard synchronous real-time communication with the time-token MAC protocol
The timely delivery of inter-task real-time messages over a communication network is the key to successfully developing distributed real-time computer systems. These systems are rapidly developed and increasingly used in many areas such as automation industry. This work concentrates on the timed-token Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol, which is one of the most suitable candidates to support ...
متن کاملReal - Time Performance of TwoToken Ring
When designing real-time communication protocols, the primary objective is to guarantee the deadlines of synchronous messages while sustaining a high aggregate throughput. In this chapter, we study two token ring protocols for their suitability in real-time systems. The priority-driven protocol (e.g., IEEE 802.5) allows implementation of a priority-based real-time scheduling discipline like the...
