Enforcing determinism in a CSMA/CD local area network

CSMA/CD is a widely used access method in Local Area Networks. It does however suffer from a number of drawbacks, its lack of determinism at high loads being a much quoted one. In environments where this is a serious problem (such as the control of automata), other LAN protocols are favoured, namely...

Description
Summary:CSMA/CD is a widely used access method in Local Area Networks. It does however suffer from a number of drawbacks, its lack of determinism at high loads being a much quoted one. In environments where this is a serious problem (such as the control of automata), other LAN protocols are favoured, namely Token Bus and Token Ring. This paper describes a feasibility study to see if it is possible to implement the Token Bus access method on top of an existing CSMA/CD network to provide a fixed maximum response time when the network is heavily loaded.
