Abstract

Numerical Petri Nets (a high level inhibitor net) are used to characterise the Cambridge Fast Ring Hardware at a high level of abstraction. The NPN model describes the service provided to users of the hardware (stations, monitors, bridges and ring transmission plant), known as the M-Access service definition in order to remove ambiguities and as a basis for the development and verification of the protocols using the M-Access service.
