Abstract :
This paper suggests a CSMA/CD compatible MAC protocol for real-time transmissions in a home or small office local area network. It has the key advantage of allowing devices implementing the existing Ethernet protocol such as PCs, printers and ISDN routers to operate with devices implementing the new MAC. The new MAC enables real-time traffic such as digital video and audio to be transmitted with low delay and jitter
