ABSTRACT:
Delay times are modified in an Ethernet network device having captured the media channel by increasing the interframe spacing (IFS) between data packets. The modified IFS interval, increased by adding a delay interval to the minimum interpacket gap (IPG) interval after a predetermined number of consecutive successful transmissions, enables other network stations to transmit data during the deferral interval. The Ethernet network device maintains the modified IFS for a limited deferral interval, based upon a predetermined time interval or a number of successful transmissions by other network stations. Additional delay intervals may be added if the network station continues to exceed the predetermined number of consecutive successful transmissions. Hence, a network station can avoid capturing a network channel while ensuring access latencies.
