Abstract :
A new protocol is described, capable of carrying mixed telecommunications services on a high-speed slotted ring. An inherent overload control mechanism ensures that delays to time-critical services are bounded and synchronous transmissions are preserved until their natural cessation. By over-coming objections to the destination release of slots, ring capacity is significantly increased.
