Isochronism and asynchronism: methods and performance of HSLANs

1991
Conference Papers

Abstract

The high speed LAN (HSLAN) market is dominated by FDDI, but this domination is being challenged by newcomers. The most important ones are FDDI-II, DQDB and CRMA. The Laboratoire de Teleinformatique, Lausanne has developed an HSLAN OPERNET. Amongst the various applications called to use these HSLANs are backbone networks, high resolution graphics and video transmission. Therefore these HSLANs should be able to transmit asynchronous as well as isochronous traffic. The author compares the performance of the above networks for both asynchronous and isochronous transfers

Fiber Distributed Data Interface

Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a standard for data transmission in a local area network. It uses optical fiber as its standard underlying physical medium, although it was also later specified to use copper cable, in which case it may be called CDDI (Copper Distributed Data Interface), standardized as TP-PMD (Twisted-Pair Physical Medium-Dependent), also referred to as TP-DDI (Twisted-Pair Distributed Data Interface).

Backbone network

A backbone or core network is a part of a computer network which interconnects networks, providing a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks. A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. Normally, the backbone's capacity is greater than the networks connected to it.

Computer network

A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or provided by network nodes. Computers use common communication protocols over digital interconnections to communicate with each other. These interconnections are made up of telecommunication network technologies based on physically wired, optical, and wireless radio-frequency methods that may be arranged in a variety of network topologies. The nodes of a computer network can include personal computers, servers, networking hardware, or other specialized or general-purpose hosts.
