Abstract
MetaRing is a Gigabit/second local area network architecture based on a dual(bi-directional) optical fiber ring with spatial reuse mechanism. The paper uses simulation to study the performance of MetaRing in the buffer insertion mode with variable length packets. It shows through various delay-throughput curves the major performance aspects of the MetaRing architecture. The results indicate that the combination of a full-duplex ring spatial reuse, and a simple and reliable fairness mechanism of the MetaRing architecture exhibit an excellent delay-throughput performance.Keywords
