I am assisting in an analysis of a system that includes a Proteon
Pronet-80 counter-rotating ring LAN, and I wonder if anyone 
else has worked with this equipment or has analyzed some aspect of 
it before.  What I would like to be able to do is to model this
device's performance, including the workstations that are hung off it,
to determine at what point the LAN becomes a bottleneck.  
This LAN is derived from the 802.5 standard, but runs at 80 Mbit/sec.
Ideally, I would like to know the relationship between packet size and
throughput, and between numbers of terminals and efficiency.

Please reply to me directly by E-mail.
