Abstract :
The commenter corrects and comments on a few results reported in the paper by H. Takagi (see ibid., vol.COM-35, p.248-50, Feb. 1987). In addition, it is shown how these results can be utilized to give the average message delay for token passing protocols where each network station is allowed to send a maximum of one fixed-length packet per cycle (known as chaining discipline).<>
