Abstract

An access protocol suitable for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) operation in an integrated service broadband metropolitan area network (MAN) is presented. This protocol is designed for a twin-bus optical network and is characterized by a fully distributed control mechanism. A detailed description of the MAC procedure and the results of its performance evaluation are given. In particular, the high fairness degree and the very high throughput values that are the distinctive features of this protocol are highlighted and compared with those relevant to the current version of the IEEE standard 802.6
