RE: RPR perf: Regarding the vote




I can think of following reasons:

	. lack of spatial reuse property - most important
	. existence of master station (e.g., slot generator) - DQDB
	. slotted nature needing fragmentation - DQDB
	. token ring is limited to LAN

I believe the buffer-insertion ring SCI was also investigated
in RPRSG. What was the recommendation on SCI?

I am curious as to what is exactly wrong with the MACs of other
ring based systems especially DQDB and token ring. Either one is
well studied and should be a good starting point for RPR.
