Abstract
Token passing can provide efficient medium access control in heavily loaded networks. However, the management overhead required in forming and maintaining a ring of token-passing nodes is a potential liability for this protocol. In this paper, we present the results of both simulations and measurements of the HF token protocol in wireless LAN operation, and explore the range of applications that may make efficient use of token passing.
