Design, implementation and measurement of a collision avoidance multiple broadcast tree network

The design and implementation of a local area network architecture based on collision avoidance, called the collision avoidance multiple broadcast (CAMB) tree network, are described. The implementation follows the protocol layering architecture of the IEEE 802 local area networks and includes CAMB tree switches, station/network interface boards, and support of transport protocols. The performance measurements of the experimental CAMB tree network are presented
