Summary:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the delay characteristics of a token ring local area network with file transfers. The delay characteristics of the network are investigated by varying the file packet lengths, the variance in the length of the packets, and the utilization. The simulation model used has file packets which are assumed to be represented by a normal distribution. The results obtained indicate that at a designated utilization an increase in the variance of the packet's length causes the delay to increase. The results can be used for capacity planning for networks whose primary task is file transfer.
