Abstract The network interconnection technique is one of the keys for expansion of a local area network. This paper gives a performance evaluation of the multiring local area network system which consists of several token ring networks interconnected by using this technique. The result shows that this network system is better than the single‐ring network system, which is an ordinary token ring network, at heavy load operation. This paper also gives a performance comparison among three network interconnection topologies, “MESH connection,” “RING connection,” and “BUS connection,” and the optimum regions for these network interconnection topologies are suggested.
