Database allocation in Ethernet-based local area networks: a queueing analytic approach

An analysis is made of the transaction response time in an Ethernet-based distributed system by evaluating the queuing models of Ethernet transmission and local database subsystems. The results obtained provide a basis for addressing design problems related to distributed database systems. A number of the analytic properties of transaction response time are established, and these can be used to simplify the solution procedure for the database allocation problem in Ethernet-based systems.<
