N 92 - 1 . 2501 Performance Analysis of LAN Bridges & Routers
نویسنده
چکیده
Bridges and routers are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs). The performance of these devices is important since they can become bottlenecks in large multi-segment networks. Performance metrics and a test methodology for bridges and routers have not been standardized. Performance data reported by vendors is not applicable to the actual scenarios encountered in an operational network. However, vendor-provided data can be used to calibrate models of bridges and routers that, along with other models, yield performance data for a network. Several tools are available for modelling bridges and routers, and Network U.5® was used for this study. The results of the analysis of some bridges and routers are presented in this paper.

Performance Improvement of Expanded Integrated Local Area Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)
In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...
متن کاملVirtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) Interoperability with Customer Edge (CE) Bridges
One of the main motivations behind Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) is its ability to provide connectivity not only among customer routers and servers/hosts but also among customer IEEE bridges. VPLS is expected to deliver the same level of service that current enterprise users are accustomed to from their own enterprise bridged networks or their Ethernet Service Providers. When customer edge...

متن کاملRouting Bridges (RBridges): Base Protocol Specification
Routing Bridges (RBridges) provide optimal pair-wise forwarding without configuration, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. They achieve these goals using IS-IS routing and encapsulation of traffic with a header that includes a hop count. RBridges are compatible with previous IEEE 802.1 customer bridges as we...
متن کاملAnalysis of a tandem network model of a single-router Network-on-Chip
We study a single-router Network-on-Chip modelled as a tandem queueing network. The first node is a geo/D/1 queue (K fixed) representing a network interface, and the second node is a ./G/1 queue representing the packet switch. If K > 1 we have train arrivals at the second node. If K = 1 the arrival process of the second node reduces to a Bernoulli process. In the latter case, routers have been ...
