Abstract
For use in local area networks (LANs) several access protocols have been proposed, some of which are already a concern of standardization bodies [l]. There are many possibilities to organize the use of a given channel: the access may be granted in a random or a controlled fashion, the responsibility for control information may be centralized or distributed etc. The actual choice has a considerable influence on the performance of the LAN in a given scenario of applications and therefore performance measures of access protocols are of utmost importance. Unfortunately most attempts in performance analysis rely — for reasons of mathematical tractability — on the assumption of Poisson like traffic behaviour. However, this assumption will not necessarily lead to reliable results with respect to the most interesting application areas of LANs: LANs are thought of as the backbone of service integrated systems which imply the coexistence of different types of traffic patterns in one network.
