ABSTRACT:
A bus arbitration algorithm using round robin and variable packet counts. In addition, each node is assigned a maximum packet size which can be adjusted by the operating system. The round robin determines which node will be granted the bus based on priority on a serial wrap-around list. The packet count is one factor in determining how long the node granted the bus may use it. The maximum packet size is a second factor in determining the permitted duration on the bus.
