abstract = {The performance of an enhanced DQDB protocol with
Bandwidth Balancing (BWB) and Multiple Requests Outstanding (MRO) under
sustained overload is examined by means of simulation. It is demonstrated that
MRO may provide a desired bandwidth apportionment without using BWB, for a very
specific case of concentrated sources; otherwise. MRO cannot be used without BWB
to obtain the desired bandwidth allocation. When used together with, and in the
same ratio as, the BWB, MRO speeds up the convergence towards the steady state
bandwidth apportionment intended by BWB.}
