abstract = {The Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) protocol is
being considered by the IEEE 802.6 and ANSI T1S1.1 as an important component in
their Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and Broadband ISDN User Network Interface
(BI-SDN-UNI) standards respectively. This paper provides first a description of
DQDB focusing mainly on its distributed queue operation. Then, the performance
of DQDB under traffic saturation for the cases of concentrated and widely
separated sources is studied and discussed with a special focus on the effect of
the elimination of the STANDBY state on fairness and throughput. It is shown
that the new version of DQDB, without the STANDBY state, provides better
fairness than the previous one which include the STANDBY state.}
