ALC LAN (Air Logistics Center Local Area Network) Network Interface Unit System Performance Report

Abstract

This document reports on the investigation of network channel performance characteristics for the AFLC ALC local area network interface units. A scaled broadband network was used to examine channel loading capacities and end-to-end delay under various load conditions. The percentage of loading, as a measure of carrier on time, and the resultant end-to-end delay are identified. Traffic characteristics that stressed the network channel performance are also identified. Testing also characterized the carrier sense multiple access with priority acknowledgement protocol used in the TRW network interface units. Keywords: Communications traffic; CSMA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access) protocol; Data processing channels overload; Network interface units; Network performance. EDC)
