摘要： Eastnet是一个总线型局部网络。该网采用应答式以太网(Acknowledging Ethernet)原理,向用户提供面向低级进程间通讯机制的服务原语,由这些原语,用户可以编制更高层次的通讯协议及高层应用软件。本文首先介绍Eastnet的结构,接着主要讨论Eastnet链路层及接口层、应用软件设计等问题。

Abstract: Eastnet is a bus-type local network. It adopts the principle of acknowledging Ethernet and provides users with the service primitives which orient to the communication mechanisms among the low level processes. Using these primitives, users can encode high level communication protocals and high application software. This paper introduces the architecture of the Eastnet, and discusses its data link level, interface level, application software design and other problems.
