Abstract

IEEE 1394 is a commodity computer device for data transmission. It is widely used as interconnection device between PC and peripherals. Presently the IEEE 1394 devices support 400 Mbps data rate at very low price. With the capability of connecting PCs directly, the IEEE 1394 devices are a competing option for network connections, especially for the interconnection of computer clusters in which the cost-effectiveness of network system is an important consideration. While there are IEEE 1394 device drivers on common operating systems which enable the device as a common network interface, these drivers cannot fully utilize the nominal IEEE 1394 bandwidth. In this paper, study of the transmission features of the IEEE 1394 device is presented, which shows the two transmission modes of the device influence the network performance greatly. A network protocol with a fuzzy controller is further discussed. By performs mode switching on the IEEE 1394 device, the fuzzy controller significantly improve the network performance of the new network protocol comparing to the existing network driver on common operating systems.
