ABSTRACT:
A distributed queue dual bus data packet network includes an adaptive bandwidth balancing mechanism in which a station priority, equal to the highest priority of waiting data at that station, and a network priority, equal to the highest priority of data received at a station, are defined. A bandwidth balancing system utilizing a balancing modulus to skip every (n+1)st time slot is enabled and disabled in response to the relative values of the station priority, network priority, request priority and data priority so as to maximize the efficiency of the balancing system. Activity timers are used for determining the if a station is the only active station on the network, and an end bit accompanies the request for transmission of the last segment of multi-segment transmissions, to further optimize the balancing enablement and disablement.
