“…These saturation values agree with values found by Silio [8] using a different approach. They also correspond with saturation values found in [13] using a priority queueing model for the SODF discipline and analytical models for first and second moments of message service time [15] that vary according to message outbound distance; this agreement in saturation throughput values for the FIFO and SODF queueing disciplines is not surprising in view of the results in Figure 1.…”

We consider queueing delay versus throughput performance for PLAYTHROUGH rings. The PLAYTHROUGH data link layer protocol is a multiserver distributed control mechanism that allows concurrent message transfer. We present simulation data comparing performance for four queueing disciplines. We also present a simple analysis to predict the throughput value at which the queueing system saturates. We compare analytical and simulation results for both PLAYTHROUGH and token rings and find the average performance of PLAYTHROUGH rings to be superior.

“…Because a short hop message leaves most of the ring free for use by others, it has more chance of being interrupted. Therefore message service times should increase somewhat as message outbound distance decreases and this is taken into account in the model in [15].…”
