Abstract :
An innovative local area network is presented which is based on a slotted ring with distributed frame buffering. The structure achieves three goals: efficient integration of circuit switching with packet switching; realization of a significant degree of transmission concurrency; and full utilization of the high bandwidth of optical fiber. Extensive computer simulations of the proposed structure and the token ring are carried out. Simulation results, which confirm expectations, are presented and discussed.<>
