Abstract :
A new ring access control scheme adopting a multiple-token protocol is investigated. In this protocol, each station distributed on a ring has a private token, called self-token, and a fixed-length register to carry out the register insertion protocol. The protocol shows good properties for shorter packets, becoming more superior to the token-ring and the FDDI-I protocols as the packet length decreases. Simulation results show that the protocol is more suitable for high-speed LANs than the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) protocol
