Abstract :
A new network access protocol, called restricted destination access protocol, for transmitting data packets in token ring networks, is proposed and analyzed. This protocol is based on the existing token passing access protocol and makes use of the extra statistical bandwidth that exists in token ring networks. A transmission capacity of greater than unity can be supported. Simulation results using the protocol in a modified fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) network are included
