ABSTRACT:
A plurality of stations are used to strip expendable messages from a serial ring communication network. One station uses either the destination address field or the source address field as the basis for removing a portion of the message. Another station uses the status of a control indicia as the basis for removing the remaining portion of the message from the ring. By distributing the stripping function, between multiple stations on the ring, a significant reduction in ring latency is achieved.
