A unique method for selection of a protocol for implementing Metropolitan Area
Networks (MANs) is discussed in this dissertation report. Given a number of
different protocols, this method enables the selecting of the protocol which is
most suited to the requirements of a given MAN topology and load. The method
allows performance of a protocol to be compared from three different perspectives;
(1) functional, (2) analytical and (3) load and configuration simulation.
The application of the different methods of comparison gives insight into which
“MAN protocol meets the requirements of a network best. Since established and
developing protocols can be compared against each other, the method allows
short term arid long term networking designs to be effectively planned. |
