Comparison of FDDI asynchronous mode and DQDB queue arbitrated mode data transmission for metropolitan area network applications
Abstract
The performance of the FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) token ring and IEEE 802.6 DQDB (Distributed Queue Dual Bus) protocols are compared using discrete event simulation models. A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) of 100 km and with 50 stations was modeled. A 100 Mbps channel is used for both networks, with a traffic model with large (1 kbyte) low priority packets and smaller (100 byte) high priority packets. The delay and fairness characteristics of both networks are analyzed.
