Abstract
This thesis gives an approximate analytical solution in terms of mean end-to-end delay of a system of token-ring local area networks interconnected via a backbone ring. The solution is based on an existing approximation (see chapter 2) of the mean end-to-end delay in a stand-alone token ring LAN, and it is extended by approximating the arrival rates at the bridges (that are function of the throughput of each subnetwork and the percentage of it that is directed to the other subnetworks). A new packet-length distribution is defined and its detailed derivation is described in Appendix B.
