memo = "''The bandwidth which the next generation of
workstations seems to require is in the range from
50Mbit/sec to 1Gbit/sec''. STM is a TDM technique
currently heavily used for isochronous traffic but
which requires fixed bandwidth allocations which are
not economical due to dynamic variations in users
bandwidth demands. ``The emerging ATM-oriented
techniques may be hard to implement in the
multigigabit/s range due to the processing needed to
route every cell in every node.'' The DTM MAC protocol
from the {MultiG} project has the advantage of being a
hybrid between STM and ATM systems. DTM does not
require optical termination in the nodes and the actual
fibre medium can carry data in the Terabit/s range
whilst nodes only have to process in the Gigabit/s
range. DTM is also capable of supporting wavelength
division multiplexing, although that would require more
complicated optical termination. ``The four most
important QOS-parameters are bandwidth, delay, jitter
and immediate access''. Jitter in DTM is negligibly
small as it acts as an STM system during the data
transfer phase. Points for further research with DTM
include protocol validation, fault-tolerance, capacity
under high traffic load, fairness and internetworking
especially with slower networks.",
