Abstract
A frame stripping algorithm for use in a ring communication network utilizing early token release wherein multiple frames can exist on the ring at one time. The algorithm introduces two new strip terminating conditions which supplement two of the three conditions applicable to a normal token release scheme. The first of these conditions occurs when the source address in a received message is not the same as the receiving station's address and no code violation errors have been detected. The second condition occurs when the receiving station detects an isolated ending delimiter without a preceding starting delimiter.
