ABSTRACT:
An improved computer system ring interconnection comprising a plurality of nodes each such node being associated with at least one of a plurality of computer system components; transmission apparatus connecting each of said nodes to a node which is a source of information and to a node which is a recipient of information; each of such nodes comprising apparatus for distributing information received from a node which is a source of information, apparatus for receiving information from and transferring information to the associated one of the system components, apparatus for relaying between the transmission apparatus information to be transferred through the node directed to other such nodes, apparatus for placing a voucher signal on the transmission apparatus in response to the receipt of information from the associated one of such components to indicate that the component has information to be transmitted to another system component, apparatus responsive to the receipt of a voucher signal for determining whether the apparatus for receiving information from and transferring information to the associated one of the system components is able to receive information, apparatus responsive to the determination that the associated component is able to receive information for placing a ticket signal to so indicate on the transmission apparatus, apparatus for transferring information received from the associated system component to the transmission apparatus in response to the receipt of a ticket signal, and apparatus for selecting information to be transferred based on the urgency of the information.
