Abstract:  In this paper, a medium access protocol for high speed Local Area Networks is described. The access protocol uses fixed length cells in slotted operation and supports both synchronous and asynchronous types of traffic. The network bandwidth is allocated to the various stations using a cell reservation scheme during the connection set-up of synchronous traffic. The synchronous traffic of each station is composed of various independent information streams of constant or variable bit rate, has higher priority than the asynchronous traffic and is served using  the nonpreemptive discipline. The access method ensures the transmission of synchronous traffic by fulfiling its Quality of Service (QOS) requirements in terms of transmission delay variations and cell rejection rate. Various performance results are presented and discussed in order to highlight the ability of the access method to support various types of traffic in the Gbit/sec LAN area.
