A high-speed double loop network with buffer insertion access scheme for supporting multi-media communication services

A double loop network based on the topological strategy of forward loop backward hop designed to support a large volume of information exchange is presented. The double loop network has two particular characteristics in bandwidth requirement and congestion avoidance since each network node is attached with extra links. The medium access scheme of the double loop network is implemented by a buffer insertion access protocol. The performance analysis and simulation have been carried out using the multi-media communication services traffic model. The performance characteristics of the high throughput rate and low and bounded delay are shown in the analytical and simulative results.
