The effect of bandwidth allocation policies on delay in unidirectional bus networks.

We consider the problem of allocating bandwidth fairly to each node in a shared, unidirectional bus network. We focus on the pi persistent protocol, since these are open loop policies designed to operate well in high speed networks, which have a very large bandwidth-delay product and feedback in th...
