A network includes a hub device connected to a plurality of peripheral devices. The hub device includes a send token register, a receive token register, and a communication protocol engine. The send token register contains tokens for allocation of output data bandwidth. The receive token register contains tokens for allocation of input data bandwidth. The communication protocol engine alternately transmits the tokens from the send and receive token registers to ensure a split of the output and input data bandwidth on the network.
