DMACS: a media access protocol for single-hop wavelength division multiplexed lightwave networks

This thesis proposes a new media access protocol for local area and metropolitan area all-optical networks employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Through WDM, multiple channels are created on a single fiber, and an aggregate network bandwidth far greater than the peak electronic processin...
