“…Originally, the cyclic reservation-based MAC scheme was proposed by IBM and had two versions developed, i.e., cyclic reservation multiple access (CRMA) [15] and CRMA-II (version 2 of CRMA) [3,4,10]. The latter version, namely, CRMA-II, was the enhancement of CRMA for bus and ring topologies and had been shown to be rather e cient in comparison with other MAC protocols for highspeed LANs and MANs [1,8,14,16]. Remarkably, these protocols satisfy fairness requirements [2,6] so that the properties of high network throughput and low response time are sustained under heavy network loads.…”

In this paper, a large-scale Gbit/s metropolitan area network (MAN) based on hierarchical ring topologies has been investigated. The network is constituted by backbone and local rings, which are connected by bridges. In the network, tra c congestion may occur in bridges due to the mismatch of transmission speed between backbone and local rings. To cope with the issue, a scheme based on a cyclic reservation-based access method is proposed for the medium access control (MAC) protocol of the network. With the scheme, the protocol can both achieve the fair access of network bandwidth and resolve the tra c congestion in bridges. Particularly, this approach reduces the implementation complexity and cost and enhances e ciency of the global network. Finally, several simulative experiments are performed, and some optimistic results are revealed. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

“…Other high-speed LANs, like CRMA-II, MetaRing, Orbit or FFOL (perfortnance comparison among these protocols can be found in [1, 7,13]) could be chosen but we restrict ourselves to the LANs supporting a direct transfer of A TM cells.…”

Medium access techniques for very high-speed multiaccess networks (1 Gbitls and more) are actively studied in various laboratories and standards bodies. The compatibility with the ATM technique is now required for a future homogeneity with MANs and WANs. By analysing the main ATM LANs described in the literature, this paper compares the performance of several MAC schemes. We have selected the Orwell ring with a MAC based on a slotted ring approach and a cyclic reset control mechanism. The A TMRing MAC protocol is an enhancement of the Orwell network through a new reset scheme which can achieve a less important reset overhead than Orwell. Quite different from the Orwell and ATMR networks, both DQDB and ATMi (ATM Interface) use a hybrid MAC scheme to support different classes of service, i.e., the bandwidth is divided into channels: one for the isochronous traffic and the other for the asynchronous traffic. The two sub-channels are multiplexed into the frame and may be distinguished by a special bit situated in the header of the slot. A TMi is an enhancement of RRMA (Reserved / Random Multiple Access) and DQDB-REB (DQDB with Request Balancing). A TMi supports two access modes to handle several classes of service. First mode corresponds to leased cells, based on the RRMA mechanism and the second mode provides requested cells, based on the DQDB-REB options.
