Abstract
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol is one of remarkable access protocol on Local Area Network (LAN). The recent interest in the application of LAN is the interconnection of LANs. Then the performance of the system of a CSMA/CD LAN interconnected by bridge with finite buffer is investigated. We present an analysis of slotted nonpersistent CSMA/CD LAN for terminals and one bridge using Tobagi's method. Terminals and bridge generate a packet with different access rate respectively. This analysis is a practical analysis by describing all status of backlogged packets in terminals and bridge. We have compared analytical results with simulation results. The points of consideration are throughput-delay characteristics and probability of occupancy of bridge. We evaluate the buffer capacity of bridge from the results of the rejection probability of voice packets and data packets. The analytical results is very close to the simulation results.
