History

Details enhancements to the Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) access method as defined in IEEE Standard 802.6 [1] in order to provide Constant Bit Rate (CBR) connection types for the support of existing services (guaranteed constant bandwidth, specified transfer delay) on MANs, using semi-permanent connections in the range of n x 64 kbit/s to 2 Mbit/s bit rate capability.
