Abstract
We propose a mechanism for implementing priorities in an IEEE 802.6 (D QDB) subnetwork of a metropolitan area network. The mechanism allows t he priorities to be preemptively multiplexed among each other, thus, a lways guaranteeing maximum bandwidth to the highest priority traffic w henever it is requested. The proposed mechanism responds fast in the p resence of high priority traffic and it takes full effect within at mo st one round trip propagation delay.
