Abstract
A simulation model to analyze the performance of a dual token ring LAN is developed. The performance measures throughput, average packet delay and maximum delay per packet are obtained. System performance is analyzed for different loads, number of stations, and packet lengths. The performances of token ring LANs with a conventional structure and a dual ring structure are compared for both uniform packet sizes and a case with mixed packet sizes. In the uniform packet size case, the dual ring delays were lower at equivalent throughput because of propagation delay effects. In the mixed packet size case the maximum delays for small packets were considerably always less for dual rings where one ring is reserved for small packets.
