Abstract

This paper introduces the 100Base-VG LAN technology that is being standardised in the IEEE 802.12 committee. The network is designed as a low-cost 100Mb/s upgrade for IEEE-802.3 10Base-T and key features of the network are discussed such as its support for installed Category 3 cable and cascading to cover campus areas without bridges. The access protocol, Demand Priority, supports two priorities and the paper considers in some detail how this can be used to provide guaranteed bandwidth and delay services for emerging applications such as real-time multimedia.
