ABSTRACT Apparatus and method of communicating data signals in tree shaped networks suitable for use as a high speed local area network that allows the use of synchronous point to point transmission channels; that employs a multiple access technique in which a station or hub sends a transmission toward the root hub of the network only when the network hub to which it is attached solicits the transmission by use of an RTS/CTS protocol; that allows CTS transmissions to be made in the downward broadcast path; that provides fair, deterministic access to the network by station adapters; that provides for the detection and elimination of net- work traffic loops; provides a practical way of increasing network availability by introducing redundant network devices and redundant connections between them; and which allows transparent bridges to dis- tinguish and discard their own transmissions received from the network.
