SMDS

SMDS, which stands for Switched Multi-megabit Data Services, was a connectionless service used to connect LANs, MANs and WANs to exchange data. SMDS was based on the IEEE 802.6 DQDB standard. SMDS fragmented its datagrams into smaller "cells" for transport, and can be viewed as a technological precursor of ATM.
