A protocol and correctness proofs for real-time high-performance broadcast networks
Jean‐François Hermant, Gérard Le Lann · 2002
Novel real time applications require high performance real time distributed systems, and therefore high performance real time networks. We examine a Hard Real Time Distributed Multiaccess problem which arises with such application problems. We present a solution, based on broadcast LANs or busses, such as Gigabit Ethernets or busses internal to ATM nodes, associated with a deterministic Ethernet-like protocol called CSMA/Deadline Driven Collision Resolution. We give an analysis of balanced m ary tree algorithms which are used by CSMA/DDCR, and derive feasibility conditions for the HRTDM problem.
