To provide integrated data/voice services on an inter-connected CSMA/CD type network, a proper channel access algorithm must be used by the bridge in order to minimize the end-to-end delay. Two algorithms, a static aggressive mechanism and a load adaptive dynamic mechanism, are presented and compared with the algorithm specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard. The performance of each algorithm is analyzed, and its suitability for the integrated service environment is evaluated.
