Performance models of token ring local area networks
Robert F. Berry, K. Mani Chandy · 1983
This paper presents a simple heuristic analytic algorithm for predicting the “response times” of messages in asymmetric token ring local area networks. A description of the token ring and the model is presented in section 2 the algorithm is described in section 3 and the empirical results in section 4. The analytic results were compared against a detailed simulation model and the results are extremely close over a wide range of models.
