Hi ... does anyone out there know the current status of the Bandwidth
Allocation mechanism to be employed within FDDI Station Management for
the distribution of bandwidth to the users of the 'synchronous service class'.
The most recent version of the SMT specification that I have is the Draft
ANSI Standard dated April 16, 1987 (rev 2.1) which contains no information
on this facility, however, the MAC draft specification indicates that the
scheme is dynamic and requires the exchange of SMT PDU's.

Thanks in advance for any help
Stephen Keith
