Abstract

In this paper, we develop a simulation model to analyze three different protocols for prioritized messages in CSMA/CD environ ment. Using SLAM // simulation language, the different phases of message transmission are represented as discrete events. Traf fic loads and priority ratios of messages are included in the model. Performance measures such as throughput, average waiting time, and average number of collisions are collected during the simula tion runs. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed on the out puts and indicates statistically significant differences in perfor mance for the three protocols tested. This simulation modeling approach and subsequent analysis can be easily extended to in clude more factors and protocols in CSMA/CD systems.
