In this paper, the performance evaluation of distributed polling networks using the analytical equations and a developed simulation model is considered. The exhaustive service versus K-limited service are also investigated and compared. Other main measurements such as average cycle time, walking time are also compared and calculated. In general, the result of both our designed simulation and analytical equations are almost in total agreements. Our simulation model and performance evaluations can be used as a basis to investigated or develop many polling- based wireless protocols. The differences between the analytical and simulation values came from the approximation done on the analytical equations.
