"In general for centralized DAMA, when a station has demand for channel resources it requests it, and if granted holds the resource until it specifically releases it (or the system releases it). In packet-DAMA, only a single (variable sized) packet is granted (and only a single small request packet is sent)" Okay, we're in sync. The description throughout your upstream post has a blend of the attributes found the old IBM BiSync, Burroughs Poll and Select, and the token passing technique (which holds the resource until the data is sent) used in FDDI. That's what I meant in my previous PM that these characteristics have been used time and again in networking schemes in the past. Or, did I blot that part out? Okay, I was able to download the RF specifications, finally. I was able to get in by trying repeatedly, until inexplicably, it worked. I now recall going over this document in the past, and things are falling into place better than they did two days ago. Now, to print out 1.1, the 3.4 MB file... ugh.
