10-611: The destination machine, and "unloaded" on return to the sender; thus in principle, there could be as many simultaneous senders as packets. The network ran over twin twisted-pair cabling (plus a fibre-optic section) at a raw data rate of 10 megabits/sec. There are strong similarities between the Cambridge Ring and an earlier ring network developed at Bell Labs based on a design by John R. Pierce . That network used T1 lines at bit rate of 1.544 MHz and accommodating 522 bit messages (data plus address). People associated with
15-411: The project include Andy Hopper , David Wheeler , Maurice Wilkes , and Roger Needham . A 1980 study by Peter Cowley reported several commercial implementors of elements of the network, ranging from Ferranti (producing gate arrays ), Inmos (a semiconductor manufacturer), Linotype Paul , Logica VTS, MDB Systems, and Toltec Data (a design company who manufactured interface boards).

25-493: Was an experimental local area network architecture developed at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge starting in 1974 and continuing into the 1980s. It was a ring network with a theoretical limit of 255 nodes (though such a large number would have badly affected performance), around which cycled a fixed number of packets . Free packets would be "loaded" with data by a sending machine, marked as received by
