Abstract
A bufferless ring network including at least two nodes and at least two timeslots, the at least two timeslots include a dedicated timeslot, and a first node in the bufferless ring network has use permission for the dedicated timeslot. The first node is configured to, in a state of having the use permission for the dedicated timeslot, detect whether all dedicated timeslots that pass through the first node are available, set a permission switch signal, and cancel the use permission for the dedicated timeslot according to the permission switch signal after detecting that all the dedicated timeslots that pass through the first node are available. A remaining node in the bufferless ring network is configured to obtain the use permission for the dedicated timeslot according to the permission switch signal. The remaining node is a node that needs to use the dedicated timeslot.
