Description
Summary:This paper offers an approximate analysis of the chaining operation in a loop system. The system consists of a central processor and N terminals linked by a common communication channel. Chaining refers to the service protocol whereby the channel is assigned in sequence to each of the terminals. Messages from terminals to the central processor are sent as chains of segments. The object of the analysis is to display the relationships between the arrival processes, the channel allocation, and the response of the system.
