| Summary: | This research project is to evaluate the network performance of fiber
distributed data interface (FDDI) protocol with real-time application. In the
real-time application, on-time delivery of messages is essential. Thus, a
suitable media access protocol is needed to transmit both real-time and non
real-time traffic simultaneously. A real-time data imposes specific delay
requirements, either due to network control or reconstruction constraints. The
performance study of FDDI protocol is carried throughout the simulation.
Furthermore, the performance metrics such as average access delay, average
message delay and maximum delay are examined in the simulation. The
various target token rotation time (TTRT) values are investigated in this
research. The real-time multimedia workload is complemented with non real-time
traffic in the FDDI network. The real-time traffic is a periodic workload such as voice communication and video conferencing. Non real-time
workloads are used as background traffic such as file transfer and interactive
terminal. The results show that synchronous packets can be successfully
complemented with asynchronous packets in the FDDI network. The TTRT
values of two to four milliseconds ensure optimal network performance over
huge data transfer rates. This research helps to understand the protocol
behaviour toward different data traffic patterns and proposes an optimal value
for TTRT in the real-time implementation. |
