Abstract
This invention is directed to a method and apparatus for improving the performance of a token ring network. More particularly, the method and apparatus involve bypassing the encode-decode step in a station in a token ring network thereby enabling the station to function at a lower latency state whenever the station has an empty message queue. A method of reducing time delay in the stations of a token ring network which comprises bypassing the encode and decode steps in a station whenever that station has an empty message queue.
