Abstract
A method provides effective priority access in a system having dual unidirectional and oppositely oriented buses. The method is intended to enhance the proposed standard, DQDB Metropolitan Area Network. An effectiveness factor K is introduced to enhance the effectiveness of the priority. In one embodiment lower priority CD counters are incremented by K for each higher priority request. A second embodiment also increments lower priority RQ counters. A third embodiment increments the lower priority CD slots only for the highest request received in a given slot. A fourth embodiment also increments lower priority RQ counters. A variation provides a threshold counter for controlling the use of the effectiveness factor.
