Abstract
The Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) has become a standard for the new generation real-time systems. The correctness of such systems is not only depends on the result of the computation and the error-free delivery of the message, it also depends on the time the result is generated and delivered. Messages missing their deadlines are usually of little use to the system. A miss in deadline may result from a degrade in performance to a disaster. The time-token protocol in the FDDI network allocates portions of network bandwidth to the stations (nodes) in the network for transmission. However, there is no standard rules on how to divide the bandwidth among the stations. This paper studies the 'normalized proportional allocation scheme' proposed by Wei Zhao and look into the effect of different packet size towards network utilization and in meeting real-time requirements.
