Abstract

Switched multi-megabit data service (SMDS) is a proposed high-speed, connectionless, public, packet-switched data service to be offered by the Bell Operating Companies in the early 1990s. Key attributes of SMDS for operations are high levels of quality, reliability, and serviceability. The new network supporting SMDS the features of the service, and the benefits of the service to a subscriber are described. An overview of operations is presented, and the operations strategies for monitoring the subscriber´s access path, the SMDS interface protocol and the service are described
