IEEE Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Supplement to Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications. Connection-Oriented Service on a Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) Subnetwork of a Metropolitan Area
Enhanced Queued Arbitrated (QA) Functions, which can support applications requiring bandwidth guarantees and delay limits on a DQDB subnetwork,are specified. Connection-Oriented Convergence Functions (COCFs) using the enhanced QA Functions, which are necessary to support connection-oriented service, are also specified.
