Abstract: In distributed systems the medium access protocol can have a profound impact on the overall network performance. As example Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection as a method of the medium access is considered. A simple Timed Petri net model is constructed and used to the performance approximation in real-time applications.
Keywords: timed net; network performance; distributed system.
