Abstract
The traffic characteristics of the switched multi-megabit data service (SMDS) are examined. SMDS is a connectionless public packet switched service which will be available initially at DS1 (1.544 Mb/s) and DS3 (44.736 Mb/s) rates, and later at OCn rates. Results of a technology test on an SMDS network that carried many different types of applications ranging from LAN-type data traffic to medical imaging are presented. The characteristics of the traffic on this SMDS network are reviewed. Using these traffic data, several important characteristics for SMDS and broadband traffic in general are identified.<>
