This paper considers the Contention-ring (C-ring), an integrated token-passing/contention control scheme in a ring network. The C-ring is expected to combine the advantages of two control mechanisms and show an excellent performance for a wide range of traffic conditions. This paper analyzes the medium access control of the C-ring and proves its superiority to the Token-ring and CSMA/CD on the throughput-delay. Further, it is shown that the C-ring has a potential adaptability to very high-speed local networks with optical fiber links from its inherent multitoken property. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
