The concept is evaluated strictly in terms of message transmission delays for demand scenarios that vary widely. A SIMULA 67 model provides the experimental basis for obtaining preliminary results that show the reductions in transmission delays to be significant and to increase with the size of the network.application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnical reportTR-88-34http://eprints.cs.vt.edu/archive/00000119/01/TR-88-34.pdf
