<p>Today the utilization of all kind of multimedia services in networks increases and due to this demand for real-time communication gets higher for every day. One of the most common protocols used today is Ethernet. It is of interest to find real-time protocols that are useful together with already existing protocols since it is expensive to rebuild the network infrastructure. Several new protocols have been proposed to solve the upcoming problems.</p><p>The objective of this project is to make an inventory and a comparison between Ethernet and these new protocols. During this project four different protocols capability to fulfill the demands for real-time communication have been studied and compared with Ethernet. Three of the protocols are built on the same basic technique as Ethernet and these are PCSMA, CSMA-DCR and DOD-CSMA-CD. The fourth protocol is ATM and it transmits in a different way over communication networks.</p><p>The analysis of this project is pointing out advantages, similarities and differences between the protocols from a real-time perspective. All four protocols are more suitable for real-time requirements than Ethernet.</p>
