Abstract

The delay and throughput of the Consumer Electronics Bus (CEBus) with two media, Power Line (PL) and Twisted Pair (TP), interconnected through a new-type of router, a controlled router, have been investigated with three priorities HIGH, STANDARD, and DEFERRED. The controlled router aims to provide fair channel access opportunity for intra-network traffic for messages of all priorities, even in the presence of large internetwork traffic. It reduces excessive channel access by internetwork traffic through the router, even when the router is assigned HIGH priority, and maintains the delay of intra-network traffic at reasonable levels. The results of the simulation experiments have shown that the controlled router with HIGH priority achieves all its goals. The message delay of HIGH for the internetwork traffic on the PL is of larger value than that of HIGH and STANDARD for intra-network traffic at light load, and is smaller than that of the STANDARD and DEFERRED at heavy load. Moreover, the intra-network message throughputs and delays of STANDARD and DEFERRED have improved greatly, in comparison to a traditional uncontrolled router, at only a small cost in internetwork HIGH performance. © 1992 IEEE
