TTL implementation of a CAMB tree network switch
Packet collisions and their resolution create a performance bottleneck in random-access LANs. A hardware solution to this problem is to use a collision avoidance switch. These switches allow the implementation of random access protocols without the penalty of collisions among packets. An architecture based on collision avoidance is the CAMB (Collision Avoidance Multiple Broadcast) Tree network, where concurrent broadcasts are possible.The purpose of this paper is to present two implementations for a CAMB Tree switch. First, a general outline of the CAMB switch is provided. Then, a description of the two implementations is given

Implementation of a station/network interface for a CAMB tree network
Packet collisions and their resolution create a performance bottleneck in random-access LANs. A hardware solution to this problem is to use collision avoidance switches. These switches allow the implementation of random access protocols without the penalty of collisions among packets. An architecture based on collision avoidance is the CAMB (Collision Avoidance Multiple Broadcast) tree network, where concurrent broadcasts are possible.This paper is a companion to an earlier report. "TTL Implementations of a CAMB Tree Switch," where a tree network architecture was described for two different implementations of a CAMB tree switch. In the pages that follow, a hardware implementation of the interface between the network stations and the packet switches is proposed. This implementation is based on the first switch design in the companion paper
