CA 1338458
An improved method of passing a token to a plurality of nodes of a token-based local area network to increase the likelihood that a higher proportion of time will be devoted to initiating message communications and a lower proportion of time will be devoted to token passing to nodes which do not have messages communications to initiate, in relation to passing the token in an even rotational sequence among the nodes, comprises the steps of dividing the nodes of the network into a first group which is more likely to have message communications to initiate and into a second group which is less likely to have message communications to initiate, s e l e c t i v e l y altering the normal rotational sequence of token passing to pass the token more frequently to the first group than to the second group, and passing the token to all active nodes prior to expiration of a determined time period.
