Architecture and Design of a Reliable Token-Ring Network

Reducing cross-group traffic with a cooperative streaming architecture

“…We introduce a practical solution, learned from token ring networks [1], to solve the problem outlined above. The general protocol of it is as follows.…”

“…Traditionally, token ring networks [1] provide only one path between any two nodes, such that the networks are at risk of being broken when node failures occur. In the scenario of video streaming, the ring overlay is more vulnerable to network partitioning due to the nature of peer dynamics.…”

File servers for network-based distributed systems

“…The Acorn File Server runs on a Motorola 6502 microprocessor with floppy disks; it was implemented in assembly language. • The Z-Ring File Server [Janson et al 1983] wa~ designed and implemented at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory to support distributed processing on an experimental token ring [Bux et al 1983]. This server, too, provides a complete hierarchical filing system.…”

Architectures for future multigigabit lightwave networks

“…Thus broadband laser traveling-wave amplifiers, broadband Raman fiber amplifiers, and [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] GHz/ degree C and by [1][2][3][4][5] GHz/mA [54]. Solutions demonstrated to this so far include using the resonances of a Fabry-Perot interferometer or the absorption spectral lines of gaseous atoms or molecules as a reference to which the laser is locked [73, (CSMA/CD) broadcast bus [67], and the token ring [13].…”

Much higher speeds ( The construction of suitable very high speed packet switches, is however, a major challenge.…”
