Abstract :
An implicit token-passing bus local area network (LAN) that provides a reverse round robin service to the stations is presented. The network, named G-Net, consists of a unidirectional bus folded to create a topology similar to the letter G. The G-Net provides bounded delay, a feature that makes it suitable for voice traffic. The performance of the G-Net, is evaluated via simulation.
