This paper presents a Petri net approach to modeling and performance analysis of the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) network. The service type described in the "Timed Token Rotation" protocol, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous traffic, is modeled using stochastic Petri nets, and its performance is conducted for both symmetric/asymmetric cases. In order to deal with large networks without creating very long Markov chains, a modified N station network is introduced. The correlation between the voice and data throughput rate, and the parameters of the system, such as the network load and the network speed are investigated.>
