ABSTRACT:
A method of bandwidth management over a transmission network comprising a plurality of stations forming a logical ring that circulates a token from station to station. Each station is allowed to transmit data to other stations over the transmission network when it receives the token. The station is allowed to transmit C bytes, where C is a credit. The credit increases in proportion to the time spent since the preceding reception of the token by the station.
