The Design of a Station-Centric Network Model for Evaluating Changes to The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Standard

摘要

Local area networks allow multiple computers to com- municate within a single building or area. The IEEE 802.3 standard defines Ethernet, the most widely used LAN technology. The IEEE 802.3 working group is re- Viewing possible additions to the standard. The Binary Logarithmic Arbitration Method (BLAM) defines an Enhanced medium access control (MAC) algorithm that Reduces packet delays improves fairness and better sup- Ports multimedia applications.
