Performance of the FDL Connections
Refer to the following table for transmission rates with FDL connections dependent
on
S
frame length (number of bytes)
S
the type of CPU
The values were measured while sending frames successively (at a transmission
rate of 1.5 Mbps; bus profile standard; 9 nodes).
