Abstract
The Demand Priority MAC protocol, currently being standardized in IEEE 802.12, offers substantial benefits over the CSMA/CD protocol of IEEE 802.3. By preserving both the current wiring infrastructure and inves tment in software, and by using the very simple Demand Priority MAC pr otocol, 100 Mb/s LANs could soon be as low-cost as 10Base-T is today.
