A slot-reuse protocol for rearrangeable dual-bus networks
Abstract
In the near future, networks based upon the IEEE 802.6 metropolitan area network standard will become widespread. Eventually, networks of this type will be possible using both conventional point-to-point fiber and new photonic implementations. In both cases, it is possible to decouple the physical and logical topologies of the network yielding a rearrangeable bus. This capability magnifies the benefits of a media access protocol with …
