    I basically want to double check my beliefs about the TVX and T_Req
    parameters. If my understanding is correct, the TVX is the max. time
    that can go by without getting a nonrestricted token or seeing a valid
    frame. Is there a default (i think 3ms) and a max value?
    Also, on the T_Req, i believe this is used for single link arbitration.
    do all nodes on the ring use the same T_Req, and if so, which T_Req do
    they decide to use? one last item, is there a default T_Req value?
    
    thanks in advance.

|     You're right on TVX.  There is no max; the default is more like 2.5 ms.
    
    On T_Req, there are a number of related parameters: T_Req, T_Neg, etc. 
    Have you looked at the FDDI Primer discussion about this?  I don't
    remember exactly what it says...
    
    Basically, T_Req is the desired value for TTRT chosen by a particular
    station.  Each station can have a different values.  During claim, the
    lowest of these values is determined (T_Neg), and that value is used as
    TTRT.
