- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: Our new Token-Ring drivers that are on Netwire support
- early token release!
-
- What is early token release? Normally, a node that sends
- a packet has to wait till the packet comes back around and
- then it strips the packet and makes a token and sends it
- out. With early token release the node can make a new
- token and send it out without waiting for the one it sent
- to come back. It doesn't mean that there can be more than
- one token on the ring at once because it can't.
