ABSTRACT:
To solve the problem raised by the allocation of synchronous bandwidth on a FDDI segment when this allocation is done by a centralized Allocator in an interconnected LAN domain, a Third Party Requestor receives from Quality of Service Allocator all information that it needs to ask for bandwidth reservation on the FDDI segment. Following the Station Management standard, the Third Party Requestor is able to act on behalf of the FDDI station that will submit synchronous traffic and ask for bandwidth allocation to a Synchronous Bandwidth Allocator. According to the Synchronous Bandwidth Allocator decision, the Third Party Requestor will then answer to the Quality of Service Allocator which will grant or deny the allocation over the whole path.
