Design And Evaluation Of A Modified Csma/Cd Mac Protocol On Single-Channel Optical Local Area Network

The project carried out was a study of a single-channel optical Local Area Network (LAN) based on an improved CSMA/CD protocol that was adapted from the conventional one. The algorithm of the new version of CSMA/CD was developed, and the LAN was comprehensively studied from a performance perspect...

This resulted in a condition whereby there was no packet loss at all. The algorithm also focused on providing adequate delay, throughput and efficiency that were needed to support the existing LAN. The results of this study showed that at least two significant contributions; the average delay and the percentage of collisions which were both shown to improve significantly.

The difference in their throughput was attributed to the carrier extension mechanism that was employed by the former.
