Abstract: There are some basic techniques which are used with local area networks (LANs); they are concerned with: network topology, transmission medium, and medium access control methods. The authors concentrate on the latter of these. Timed Petri net models for study of a standby group with renewal, local area network with CSMA-CD, and control token medium access method are proposed. The medium access control protocol can have a profound impact on the overall LAN performance.
Keywords: local area network; access control; timed net; overall performance; token medium access method.
