A new fault-tolerant configuration for the Cambridge Ring: the Hierarchical Ring-Star
thesis
posted on 2018-05-21, 12:00 authored by Thet-Ngian ChenThe primary objective of this research is to look at ways
of resolving the reliability problems of the Cambridge Ring
local area network system. The result is a novel design to
enhance the Cambridge Ring with fault tolerance by
introducing redundant communication paths with dynamic
reconfiguration. The proposed Ring-Star system combines
the advantages of ring and star networks to create a
network which is topologically resilient while retaining
the efficient communication advantage of rings. [Continues.]
