Response to "One-Bit Delay in Ring Networks"

The authors respond to section III of the above-titled work (ibid., vol.42, no.6, pp.735-737, June 1993), in which it is shown that their medium access control (MAC) protocol for rings (bid., vol.39, no.3, pp.289-299, Mar. 1990) cannot be implemented with minimum delay. They point out some differences in terminology and provide further clarification of their work. >
