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.>
