The  simulation model was developed based on the IEEE 802.5 Token Ring  standard which employs the optional priority mechanism described  in this standard. Real-time traffic are characterized as those  which are guaranteed to be delivered within a prespecif ied delay  upperbound. Real-time packets delivered after its deadline are  considered lost. Network parameters such as the number of nodes  that support real-time traffic" the packet sizes of both real time and nonreal-time packets, and the percentage of real-time  traffic in the network were varied in order to demonstrate their  effect on the mean delay and throughput performance of the real time Token Ring LAN. In addition, it is shown in this thesis  that the Token Ring network is able to cope with the requirements  of present real-time application.  0aLocal area networks (Computer networks)1 aNanda, Navnit Kumar, eChairperson0 aCharoon Chirapaisarnkul, eExamination Committee1 aBohez, Erik L.J.,eExamination Committee2 aGovernment of Australia, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
