This study evaluates parallel processing for the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)-7 layer model using transputers. Object-oriented design improves performance, addressing a key criticism of the OSI model.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Network Engineering
  • Parallel Computing

Background:

  • The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)-7 layer model aims for universal communication standards across diverse architectures.
  • A significant drawback of the OSI model is its performance limitations, particularly within the presentation layer.
  • This research addresses the performance challenges of the OSI model's upper layers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of parallel processing techniques for enhancing OSI-7 layer model performance.
  • To investigate the use of transputers within a parallel co-processor architecture for the OSI model.
  • To analyze how protocol stack structure and implementation impact performance.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of parallel processing techniques on the upper layers of the OSI model.

  • Utilization of transputers in a parallel co-processor setup.
  • Object-oriented modularization of the protocol stack for improved architecture.

    • Main Results:

    • Performance is significantly influenced by the protocol stack's structure and implementation.
    • An object-oriented modularization approach with transputers yields adequate co-processor performance.
    • The study presents an ideal co-processor configuration for parallel processing within the OSI model.

    Conclusions:

    • Parallel processing, particularly with transputer-based co-processors and object-oriented design, can effectively address OSI-7 layer performance issues.
    • The proposed architecture offers a viable solution for enhancing communication efficiency in heterogeneous distributed systems.
    • Further investigation into the parallelism effect provides insights for future advancements in network protocol performance.
