| Abstract: | In this paper we present the semi-Markov performance model of a bus protocol (IMAP—Improved token bus Multi-Access Protocol) suitable for embedded networks. IMAP is an improvement over the token bus scheme and is proposed in Sood et al. (1986). The semi-Markov model is developed by considering normal and interrupt modes of operation of IMAP. Performance of IMAP has been compared to token-bus scheme. |
