This IEEE standard for metropolitan-area networks(MANs) describes what is called a Distributed Queue Dual Bus(DQDB). The DQDB topology includes two parallel runs of cable-typically fiber-optic cable-linking each node(typically a router for a LAN segment) using signaling rates in the range of 100 megabits per second. 1, record 1, English, - IEEE%20802%2E6

Le standard IEEE pour des réseaux MAN (Metropolitan Area Network). Il décrit ce que l'on appelle le DQDB (Distributed Queue Dual Bus). La topologie DQDB comporte deux chemins parallèles de câbles, généralement des fibres optiques, reliant chaque nœud, avec une vitesse d'acheminement de l'ordre de 100 Mbps. 1, record 1, French, - IEEE%20802%2E6

Because of the differing nature of cable systems(point-to-point circuits) and satellite systems(multipoint circuit distribution) it is not sufficient to make comparisons in terms such as :-capital outlay;-space segment investment;-incremental cost of providing a circuit. 1, record 2, English, - multipoint%20circuit%20distribution

En raison de la nature différente des systèmes en câbles (circuits entre points fixes) et des systèmes à satellites (distribution de circuits multipoints), il ne suffit pas d'établir des comparaisons portant sur les points suivants: - dépenses en capital; - investissement dans le secteur spatial; - coûts marginaux d'établissement d'un circuit. 1, record 2, French, - distribution%20de%20circuit%20multipoint
