Best Answer

A deterministic MAC protocol gives guarantees on message delay and channel throughput. Schedule based MAC protocols, based on time synchronization among nodes, are currently used to implement deterministic MAC protocols.

How do you xxplain the process of non-deterministic MAC?

MAC Protocols will define MAC and provide examples of deterministic and non-deterministic MAC protocols. MAC refers to protocols that determine which computer in a shared-media environment, or collision domain, is allowed to transmit data. MAC and LLC comprise the IEEE version of the OSI Layer 2. MAC and LLC are sublayers of Layer 2. The two broad categories of MAC are deterministic and non-deterministic. Examples of deterministic protocols include Token Ring and FDDI. In a Token Ring network, hosts are arranged in a ring and a special data token travels around the ring to each host in sequence. When a host wants to transmit, it seizes the token, transmits the data for a limited time, and then forwards the token to the next host in the ring. Token Ring is a collisionless environment since only one host can transmit at a time. Non-deterministic MAC protocols use a first-come, first-served approach. CSMA/CD is a simple system. The NIC listens for the absence of a signal on the media and begins to transmit. If two nodes transmit at the same time a collision occurs and none of the nodes are able to transmit. Three common Layer 2 technologies are Token Ring, FDDI, and Ethernet. All three specify Layer 2 issues, LLC, naming, framing, and MAC, as well as Layer 1 signaling components and media issues. The specific technologies for each are as follows: • Ethernet - uses a logical bus topology to control information flow on a linear bus and a physical star or extended star topology for the cables • Token Ring - uses a logical ring topology to control information flow and a physical star topology • FDDI - uses a logical ring topology to control information flow and a physical dual-ring topology
