Abstract

In this paper, the performance of bridges used to interconnect LAN to FD야 backbone networks as well as the performance of MAC protocols for FD야 backbone networks were thoroughly analyzed, The exhaustive service discipline and three ource models were applied to analyze the mean waiting time of the system. the performance is evaluated in terms of the service rate of bridge, total load of backbone. medium length of back bone, value of T and station latency. The result of analysis show that in general , processing delay of the system is mainly determined by bridge delays. But when processing time of bridge mereases, processing delays of the system are primarily determined by MAC protocols. Therefore, speed-up of processing time of bridge is necessary to efficiently use the high speed backbone networks.
