Zusammenfassung:A description is given of SURVNET, a survivable fiber-optic local area network (LAN). The network supports data communications with a fault-tolerant, distributed architecture capable of continued communication despite media failure and node outages. SURVNET is configured as a modified fiber-optic broadcast bus. The physical and data link layers are implemented with a combination of IEEE standard 802.3 (Ethernet) and an augmented version of IEEE standard 802.4 token passing bus protocols. A performance analysis of prototype network is given.< >
