Abstract
A communication network and method employing chained sequences of communications devices, to support synchronized relaying of data, thus forming duplex data buses. These data buses support both synchronous virtual circuits and a form of synchronized interrogate-respond data transfer. Off-bus communications devices are permitted to synchronously respond onto the bus without time contention.
