This book was released on 1980 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comparative study of communication technologies for use in local area networks is presented. The technologies considered are: a ring, two cable bus schemes, a circuit switched system, and a shared memory system. These technologies are evaluated under similar operating conditions, loadings, and system configurations via a simulation analysis. Included in the analysis are delays caused by higher level protocol interactions at the host-computer level. The performance of these systems is summarized in the paper. (Author).
