## Abstract This article considers a WDM slotted‐ring network architecture. A slotted MAC protocol was designed to be used in a metropolitan environment. The results of a discrete event simulation are presented. Assuming that a maximum load threshold is not exceeded, fairness between access nodes i

## Abstract In this paper, we propose a new contention‐resolution scheme for supporting time‐critical applications in multifiber optical packet‐switched networks. The main idea is to utilize redundant idle fibers in optical cables rather than the conventional optical‐fiber delay lines to transfer t
This paper focuses on the design and performance evaluation of a new mechanism, named Distributed Contention Control (DCC), for the adaptive contention reduction in LAN networks that utilize random access MAC protocols. The proposed mechanism could be executed on the top of a preexistent access prot
