Abstract:
A method and computer readable medium for communication on a shared media. In one embodiment, the method comprises holding a token by a first coordinator on a virtual ring, only a token-holding coordinator is permitted to transmit data associated with a first service level; transmitting data associated with the first service level, by the first coordinator, to device(s) on a first local domain; passing, by the first coordinator, the token to a second coordinator; periodically transmitting data associated with the first service level, by the second coordinator, to device(s) on a second local domain; receiving, by a third coordinator while the second coordinator holds the token, a message to transmit data associated with a second service level to device(s) of a third local domain; and transmitting, by the third coordinator while the second coordinator is not transmitting, the data associated with the second service level.
