Greetings.  I am interested in better understanding
the method by which individual stations bid, reserve,
and relinquish available synchronous bandwidth.  The
American Nation Standard MAC document states only that
each station initially has a zero synchronous bandwidth
allocation, and that an SMT protocol is used to change
this allocation.  Is this allocation protocol unspecified,
and therefore left to implementation?

Though I have a copy of the draft proposed standard,
SMT ASC X3T9.5 Rev. 6.2 (May 1990), I have been unable
to find an explicit reference to the MAC described
protocol.

Your help and/or references are greatly appreciated.
