Abstract :
A multichannel extension of the fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) protocol using tunable-channel access is proposed. It greatly reduces the node complexity and allows low-speed electronics to be used for a high-speed network. Compared with a single-channel FDDI implementation, the multichannel FDDI either has a much higher throughput efficiency (same access delay) or a much lower access delay (same total throughput or TTRT). The proposed scheme is applicable to many other token ring networks
