Abstract: The authors present the results of a detailed performability evaluation of a local-area network using the IEEE 802.4 protocol. In particular a 30 station IEEE 802.4 token bus network operating in a hostile factory environment is evaluated using stochastic activity networks. Stochastic activity networks, a generalization of stochastic Petri nets, provide a convenient representation for computer networks and are formal enough to permit solution by both analysis and simulation.
