Abstract :
An enhanced assessment protocol (EAP) is proposed for DQDB MANs. The proposed scheme comprises of two independent assessment cycles. The DANT cycles continuously update time dependent network information. The perception cycles estimate the required change in the perception of the node population in the network, to serve the existing demand pattern better and supports dynamic bandwidth control
