Annotated Bibliography On Distributed Queue Dual Bu s (DQDB ) Matthew N . O. Sadiku and A, S . Arvin d Department of Electrical Engineering Temple Universit y Philadelphia, PA 1912 2 Abstrac t Since its adoption in November 1987 by the IEEE 802,6 committee, the distributed-queu e dual-bus (DQDB) subnetwork has generated a significant interest due to the simplicity of its medium access control protocol . This intense interest has lead to a literature explosion o n DQDB . This paper is an attempt to provide both the veteran and the beginners with a n annotated bibliography of related papers on DQDB . I. Introductio n The last ten years have witnessed a proliferation of proposals for high-speed local area networks and metropolitan are a networks . The IEEE 802 committee perceived the need for high speed services over wide areas and formed the IEE E 802.6 Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) committee in 1982 . Several systems were proposed to the IEEE 802 . 6 committee but in November, 1987, the committee reached a consensus to use the Distributed-Queue Dual-Bus (DQDB ) as the standard medium access control (MAC) protocol . The DQDB is modeled after the
