Nonbroadcast multiple-access network

Nonbroadcast multiple-access network

A Nonbroadcast Multiple Access Network (NBMA) is a network to which multiple computers and devices are attached, but data is transmitted directly from one computer to another over a virtual circuit or across a switched fabric. NBMA does not support multicast or broadcast traffic. Some common examples of nonbroadcast network media include ATM, Frame Relay, and X.25.
