A Modified Access Policy for ETHERNETTMVersion 1.0 Data Link Layer

A modification to the access policy for ETHERNET
^TM
Version 1.0 is proposed. By placing additional restrictions (compared with ETHERNET) on each station that is attempting to transmit, this access policy makes it more likely a successful message transmission will occur, and in less time, than the published Version 1.0. Theoretical analysis substantiates these claims.
