Abstract
The capabilities of a 16-Mb/s token ring to support multimedia applications, and simultaneously carry data and multimedia traffic are demonstrated. The token ring´s priority mechanism makes it possible to effectively isolate multimedia and data traffic. Bandwidth management is then needed to allocate a guaranteed bandwidth to multimedia traffic. A simple form of bandwidth management limits the number of active multimedia sessions on a token ring segment. With bandwidth management implemented in a multimedia server, client/server multimedia applications on a single token ring segment can become a reality
