RATO-net: a random-access protocol for unidirectional ultra-high-speed optical fiber network

The local network medium is a pair of unidirectional fiber optic buses to which stations are connected via passive taps. For this configuration, a random-access protocol called RATO (random-access time-out) is presented. RATO provides random access, fairness, and bounded delay access to all stations...
