A Performance Evaluation of Emerging Ethernet Technologies: Switched/high-speed/full-duplex Ethernet and Ethernet Lan Emulation over Atm
نویسندگان
چکیده
| The advent of switched LAN and ATM technology is dramatically altering today's networking environment. Given the preponderance of existing Ethernet networks today, high-speed, switched and/or full-duplex Ethernet and Ethernet LAN Em-ulation over ATM are extremely important, as is bridging between Ethernet and ATM. In this paper , we evaluate the performance of these newly emerging technologies, using measurements from actual Ethernet and ATM products. The speciic technologies evaluated include: 10 and 100 Mbps Eth-ernet, switched or unswitched, half-duplex or full-duplex; Ethernet LAN Emulation over ATM (with comparisons to Token Ring LAN Emulation); bridging between Ethernet and ATM, comparing a native Ethernet server vs. an ATM server. A mathematical model is presented to explain observed performance .

متن کاملComparison of the Gigabit Ethernet Full-Duplex Repeater, CSMA/CD, and 1000/100-Mbps Switched Ethernet
Recently, the Full-Duplex Repeater (FDR) has been proposed as an alternative to half-duplex operation using CSMA/CD for controlling shared access to Gigabit Ethernet. In this paper, the basic FDR architecture is described and two extensions for traffic control are introduced. Using simulation methods, the performance of the Gigabit FDR is studied under different topologies and population sizes ...

متن کاملEDF Scheduling Algorithm for Periodic Messages On Switched Ethernet
In the recent years, there is a strong interest of using switched Ethernet in factory automation. The switched Ethernet offers many attractive features such as large throughput, traffic isolation and full-duplex links. However, although using full-duplex switched Ethernet can limit the collisions to each port, the real-time features may be affected due to the collisions on an output port.This p...
متن کاملCounting the Cycles: a Comparative Study of NFS Performance over High Speed Networks
In the management of a modern LAN or campus network, two issues are of key importance, namely network performance and capacity planning. In this paper we report on results from an experimental programme which aims to quantify the performance that can be achieved with a real distributed application running over a range of different network technologies, including Ethernet, ATM, FDDI, and a 100 M...
