Abstract
A method and apparatus for minimizing starvation of a station in a ring networked environment includes allocating a tax to each of the stations in the ring, and, for each packet that is to be transited though the ring, providing bandwidth to the station in the form of a tax packet, which allows the station to have ring access.
