UofT Department of Computer Science Seminar Schedule for
the week of April 23rd, 1984
Friday, April 27th, 3:00 P.M., GB220, Professor Michael Molloy,
University of Texas, Austin, TX: "Experimental research in LAN
at the University of Texas".
ABSTRACT: Since the development of the Ethernet by Xerox, local area network
(LAN) technology has grown at a very rapid pace. There have been a large
number of different types of LANs proposed, and for each type a large number
of different protocols. Currently, a testbed for evaluating the performance
and implementation problems of various CSMA/CD protocols is being installed.
Even during the startup phase, a large number of interesting facts about
LAN protocols have been uncovered. These include some implementation
problems with currently proposed protocols and a new mechanism to perform
collision resolution in an unslotted environment. This talk will review the
testbed configuration, the protocols to be studied, the implementation
problems currently identified, and the new resolution method being proposed.
