ABSTRACT:
A source station writes addresses of destination stations in a data field of a frame, and sends the frame to a data transmission network by using one of those address as a destination address. A station which receives the frame, after writing information in the frame, sends the frame to another station whose address is written in the data field of the send frame and which has not received the frame. These operations are repeated until the frame is sent to all destination stations. Thus, when a frame is sent to a plurality of stations, traffic density can be reduced, and a transfer sequence can be set according to the state of the transmission network and the stations, Further, when a frame cannot be sent to any destination station, information about this failure to send is written in the frame, and the frame is sent to another station which has not received the frame.
