Transmission Characteristics of the 3Com ETHERLINK II Network
Abstract
In this report, the transmission characteristics of the 3Com Etherlink II adapter are examined. In particular, the transmission speed of the adapter is investigated with data passed and without data passed from host memory to the adapter buffer. Furthermore, experiments are conducted to examine the capability of replacing an old packet, submitted to the adapter buffer, with a new packet from the host memory, as well as the capability of stopping the transmission of a packet already submitted to the network adapter. The primary motivation of this investigation is to understand the behavior of the 3Com ETHERLINK II adapter in a simulation networking environment under real time constraints.
