Channel Access Schemes and Fiber Optic Configurations for Integrated- Services Local Area Networks

Abstract

Local Area Networks have been in common use for data communications for several years and have enjoyed great success. More recently, there has been a growing interest in using a single network to support many applications (e.g., speech, high-resolution graphics, facsimile, video, etc.) in addition to traditional data traffic. This leads to so-called Integrated Services Local Area Networks. These additional applications introduce new requirements in terms of volume of traffic and real-time delivery of data which are not met by existing networks. To satisfy these requirements, one needs a high-bandwidth transmission medium, such as fiber optics, and a distributed channel access scheme for the efficient sharing of the bandwidth among the various applications.
