A wee bit of junk related to Ringnet, from the web.
From patent 4,528,661 Guessing this is a discussion of the Primenet ring network as implemented by PNC boards. 1024 bit data packets 6-14 bit sync packets variable length sync packets are used to adjust the bit rate around the ring without a master clock Modulated NRZI signal Morten Reistad in c.s.p.: Or did someone finally make Ringnet software for an Ethernet controller like the LHC500? BTW: Ringnet is basically X.25 Layer 3 over a lan, with some elementary flow control commands to support it.
