Switched Multi-megabit Data Service (SMDS) is a connectionless, public, packet-switched data service that provides Local Area Network (LAN) features and performance across wide geographic areas. This document presents Bellcore's preliminary view of proposed generic criteria for Low Speed SMDS Access, which provides frame-based access to SMDS, initially at an access rate of DSO, using the Data Exchange Interface (DXI) protocol.
