[comp.dcom.telecom] Provisions of CONS Over a Connectionless Network

Andy Lim <a.lim@trl.oz.au> (04/10/91)

G'day,

Could someone tell me if SMDS, a connectionless network supports
connection oriented services?  If it does, how does it do it
(signalling and support)?

I am investigating ways of providing connection oriented services on a
connectionless network (Fastpac, Australian modified DQDB 802.6 MAN)-
with emphasis on signalling.  Are there anyone doing similar
investigations?  Any publication references?
