Abstract
Abstract A multichannel medium access control protocol suitable for implementation on a wavelength division multiplexed optical fibre LAN is discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the mean delay against network throughput performance at individual channel transmission rates of 100 Mbit/s. The protocol is based on a token passing arbitration policy which dynamically allocates both the token and the data to individual wavelength multiplexed channels. An improved performance is demonstrated in comparison with alternative conventional approaches operating at an equivalent overall network transmission rate.
