Abstract

Even though IEEE 802.6 can cover longer distances than those of local area networks (LANs), it is limited by unfairness in terms of average access delay. The effect of distance on average access delay is analyzed based on homogeneous assumptions, and a technique to extend 802.6 over a wider area is proposed. The technique makes possible simplification of topology for wide area networks (WANs), which in turn simplifies routing and network management tasks
