SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concepts of Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) and Switched Multimegabit Data Services (SMDS) as they relate to Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). DQDB operates by allowing multiple users to share a single bus for data transmission, utilizing a distributed queue mechanism to manage access. SMDS, on the other hand, provides high-speed data transmission services over a MAN, leveraging existing utility infrastructures. The user seeks further information and resources on these technologies, particularly their application in MANs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN)
  • Familiarity with Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) technology
  • Knowledge of Switched Multimegabit Data Services (SMDS)
  • Basic concepts of data transmission protocols
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the operational principles of Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB)
  • Explore the applications of Switched Multimegabit Data Services (SMDS) in MANs
  • Investigate existing utility infrastructures that support MAN implementations
  • Learn about the differences between MAN, WAN, and LAN technologies
USEFUL FOR

Network engineers, telecommunications professionals, and students studying data transmission technologies will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focusing on metropolitan area networking solutions.

This is a question from my lecturer,i really cannot answer it because i dun understand about DQDB and SMDS,so wish anyone expert can tell me about it or give me some information for it.It is not much website can be found the information.If u know some website about this,please let me know,i will research it.Thank you all...

The question is:

A metropolitan areal network(MAN) is a network designed to extend over an entire city.Most organizations find that even if they could get permits to lay cables on public land,a better alternative is to use the services of existing utilities,such as Telephone Company.These services include:distributed queue dual bus(DQDB) and switched multimegabit data services(SMDS).Explain how the data transmission in DQDB is done and how SMDS is used for MAN.

Thanks a lot for help me.

ya,i have tried,i cannot found how SMDS is used for MAN,just can be found used for WAN.
