ABSTRACT:
A token-assignment network implemented out of existing computers that are interconnected in an Ethernet network. The token-assignment mode ensures that each computer in the token-assignment network has a turn at transmitting, thus preventing starvation of any particular computer in the token-assignment network. In this manner, computers of the token-assignment network are able to continue functioning even during a virus outbreak, thereby enabling business to continue and/or virus remedial actions to be taken via the network.
