ABSTRACT:
A server, and a number of client stations interconnected by a token ring network, specifically an FDDI-II network. The FDDI-II ring is connected in a star-ring topology, with the server and the clients preferably connected to the network through a wiring closet, as is the usual practice for such a topology. The server has separate physical connections to the single FDDI-II ring with each physical connection to the ring providing access to a separate physical domain. This partitions the same ring into different physical domains, so that an increase in the total effective bandwidth of the network is achieved by the server reallocating the same isochronous bandwidth in each of the domains for reuse by the server. An allocation of bandwidth in an isochronous channel in one domain can be reused by the server in another physical domain.
