TLDR
It is shown that the protocol offers improved throughput-delay performance with respect to the single channel token bus access protocol and that it also provides for high reliability and simpler network maintenance.
Abstract
A token-based protocol for multichannel local area network architectures is presented. The operation of the multichannel protocol is described, and its performance is evaluated by simulation. The simulation model is briefly described. Through simulation the behavior of the network is analyzed for varying network parameters and traffic load distributions. Discussions on the multichannel protocol's merits relative to the single channel protocol are provided. It is shown that the protocol offers improved throughput-delay performance with respect to the single channel token bus access protocol and that it also provides for high reliability and simpler network maintenance. >

Design and analysis of a contention-based lookahead reservation protocol on a multichannel local area network

TL;DR: The contention-based lookahead reservation (CLAR) protocol can provide fast circuit-switching services that are particularly advantageous for networks supporting integrated services and the delay and throughput performance for message transmission are obtained, and they agree closely with that obtained by simulation.

LAN Protocol Validation and Evaluation

TL;DR: Simulation is used to validate and evaluate the performance of the proposed IEEE 802.4 Token-Passing Bus Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol for local area networks and the modeling technique transforms the formal specification of the protocol by a direct and simple technique into a simulation program.
