| Abstract | The mechanisms for access to the physical channel used in the data link layer are one of the most controversial issues in Fieldbusses. Two approaches are widely used, the centralised and the distributed ones, the performance of which strictly depends on the traffic features. Whereas a centralised approach is efficient for cyclic traffic, the same does not apply to asynchronous traffic. In this paper we discuss and evaluate a new protocol, called the Slot Swapping Protocol (SSP), which is suitable for ring networks and makes it possible to meet the requirements of both cyclic and asynchronous traffic. The protocol, which is fully distributed, operates on a slotted ring and uses the principle of slot swapping to exchange data travelling on the ring. The ring is covered uninterruptedly by a slot train (with slots of a fixed length) which pass sequentially through all the stations. When a station needs to transmit information it uses a free slot, if there is one, or makes a swap, forcibly freeing a slot (in the way provided for by the protocol) and storing the swapped data in its local queue. This operation makes it possible to meet the time constraints of single messages and, although the system operates in a distributed fashion, it gives each station a global view of the traffic's time constraints. SSP guarantees respect of the time constraints of cyclic traffic, even when the workload is heavy, and the transmission of asynchronous traffic in as short a time as possible. Lastly, by using priorities, it allows critical variables (e.g. alarm signals) to be delivered in a very short time. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
