Abstract

The distributed queue dual bus (DQDB) metropolitan area network (MAN) is currently being standardised by IEEE 802.6. This letter reports on a characteristic of the DQDB MAC protocol, found using simulation, which causes the end stations to experience higher delays than the middle stations under certain conditions. One mechanism is described to explain the phenomenon along with a modification to improve the protocol's behaviour.
