An Improved Approach to Fault Tolerant Redundant Fiber Optic Ring Design for Polled Data Networks

This research investigates alternate methods of implementing a redundant communications ring for polled network applications. FDDI and a unique solution (the tone method) designed specifically for this application are compared. In polled networks one of the most critical parameters is the time requi...
