MAN TECHNOLOGIES
 MAN ( metropolitan area network ) is a network with a size
between a LAN and a WAN.
 It is designed for customers who need a high speed
connectivity usually to the internet.
 MAN has a range of over 50km.
 It can transmit data at the rate up to 1000 Mbps.
 Best way to interconnect 2 LAN’s.
 Major technologies of the MAN include
1. FDDI
2. SMDS
3. DQDB
4. WiMax
5. ATM
FDDI ( Fibre distribution Data
Interface)
 Based on the token ring protocol, uses fibre optical link and contains two
tokens.
 Unlike the IEEE 802.5 token ring, each host holds the token for a
predetermined time. FDDI emits a token immediately following the frame.
 Each host can transmit as many frames it produce during the time it holds
the token.
 Support many frames on the ring at the same time; hence support higher
data traffic.
 The primary ring offers up to 100Mbps capacity.
 The other for backup incase the primary token fails. If backup is not
needed, second ring transmit and hence increase rate to 200Mbps.
 Transmit at 100Mbps over 100km and can extend to 200Mbps up to
200km.
 Used to interconnect within a campus computers.
 Can operate over multimode or simple mode optical fibre
system. (distance > 100m).
 Multimode fibre uses LED as the light generating device.
 Single mode fibre generally uses lasers.
 Twisted pair cable can be used for length < 100m.
 It supports up to 1000 nodes.
 SWITCHED MULTIMEGABIT DATA SERVICE ( SMDS)

 IEEE 802.6 MAN standard

 SMDS was developed by bell core.
 It is a high speed connectionless service that enables connectivity
between LAN’s and WAN’s.
 Data is transferred in packets over a considerably large area.
 Switching service provide data transmission in the range between
1.544 Mbps to 45 Mbps.
 Used to exchange large amount of data.
 It handles group addressing (multicasting)
 Extend LAN performance through interconnection of token ring and
Ethernet networks.
 Provide secured connectivity
 Figure 2 bellow SMDS interconnecting multiple LAN’s.

ATM ( Asynchronous transfer mode)
 Developed in 1980
 Cell switching and multiplexing technology.
 Combines circuit and packet switching which allow it to send
real time data. ( video, voice)
 Meant to improve transportation of real time data over a
single network.
 Support TDM ( time division multiplexing.)
 It is the most frequently used of all. It is a digital data transfer
technology.
 It was developed to improve the transportation of real time
data over a single network
 Works like cell relay system where data is separated in the
form of fixed equal sized packets and is transferred overtime.
WiMAX ( Worldwide Interoperability
Microwave Access)
 IEEE 802.16 standard.
 Ensures compatibility and interopreability between
broadband wireless access equipment.
 Use to provide high data rate with increased
coverage at high speed
 Broadband wireless access.
 Has a data rate of 70Mbps and covers upto 10km.
DISTRIBUTED QUEUE DUAL BUS
( DQDB)
 IEEE 802.6 MAN standard.
 It is a DLL ( dynamic link library) communication for MAN
 An improvement of this is the SMDS
 Allow for both circuit and packet switching.
 Suitable for volatile network traffic.
 Support data, video and voice traffic.
 Used with a dual unidirectional logical bus configuration.
 The two bus transmit in opposite direction and each node is
connected to both buses.
 The buses transmit at the rate of 34 Mbps to 150Mbps and
covers upto to 200Km (160Km ideal).
DQDB ARCHITECTURE
 Head-ends generate fixed size empty cells (53byte) in both
directions and are called cell generators.
 A node uses the right moving bus to send frames to nodes on
the right and vice versa.
 when bus A is configured:
 Stations 2 & 3 are considered to be upstream w.r.t station 1.
 Station 1 & 2 are considered to be downstream w.r.t station
3.
 When B is configured:
 Stations 2 & 3 are considered downstream w.r.t station 1.
 Stations 1 & 2 are considered to be upstream w.r.t to station
3.
