A MAC protocol for HFC networks: Design issues and performance evaluation 

<br/><br/>Medium Access Control (MAC) layer protocols are designed to control transmissions over shared mediums. Bi-directional Cable TV networks using Hybrid Fiber/Coazial (HFC) systems are good examples of broadcast environments where a MAC protocol is needed to allocate the multiaccess medium among the various nodes.
