Abstract :
We describe a new scheduling protocol, designed to work efficiently at very high speeds over large distances and adaptable to support arbitrary mixtures of different types of traffic. While the concept may be applied to different types of LANs and MANs, we explore it here in the context of a slotted ring with packet reuse.
