Abstract
A fiber-optic architecture, Tree-Net, is introduced that does not require intermediate processing components and supports a large number of stations. Tree-Net is based on a tree topology, passive station taps, and implicit token protocol. The properties and performance of Tree-Net are evaluated. It is shown that the basic topology and access scheme of Tree-Net can be extended so that a family of tree-structured fiber-optic MANs (metropolitan area networks) can be defined to suit different needs, including data, voice, and video integration.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
