Abstract
A novel fiber-optic architecture, Tree-Net, is presented which does not require intermediate processing components. Tree-Net is based on a tree topology, passive station taps, and implicit token protocol. The properties and performance of Tree-Net are evaluated, and possible extensions of the basic scheme are discussed
