Abstract: This technical paper examines 100VG-AnyLAN, a new IEEE 802.12 technology for transmitting Ethernet and Token Ring frame information at 100 Mbits/s. 100VG-AnyLAN was designed to not only embrace the past with its easy expansion of Ethernet and Token Ring networks but to open the door to the future by enabling new classes of applications. 100VG-AnyLAN uses intelligence in the hub to better manage network usage and improve network control. This central intelligence implements frame switching technique called Demand Priority. Demand Priority hubs arbitrate requests from connected nodes for access to the network, building in a natural flow control that allows 100VG-AnyLAN to minimize network latency, maximize network throughput, and enable support for time-sensitive applications such as multimedia.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
