NBMA

NBMA (non-broadcast multiple access)is one of four network types in the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) communications protocol. NBMA is used to accurately model X.25 and frame relay environments in multiple-access networks where there are no intrinsic broadcast and multicast capabilities. The other OSPF network types are: broadcast, point-to-point, and point-to-multipoint. In an NBMA configuration, OSPF sends HELLO packets (packets sent periodically to establish and confirm neighbor relationships between routers) to each router one at a time rather than multicasting them. The HELLO timer (which tells the router how often to send HELLO packets) is extended from 10 to 30 seconds and the dead router timer (which tells the router how long to wait before it decides that a neighboring router is not functioning) is extended from 40 to 120 seconds.

NBMA（非广播多路访问网络）是OSPF（开放最短路径优先）通信协议中四种网络的一种。NBMA用于精确模型X.25和帧中继环境，这些模型不具备内部广播和多点传送能力。其他的OSPF网络类型有：广播、点对点和点对多点。在NBMA设置里，OSPF一次只发送一个呼叫包（在路由器间周期性发送的建立和确认临近关系的包）而不是多广播是的发送给他们。呼叫计时器（它控制路由器每发送一个呼叫包需要隔多少时间）需要延迟10到30秒，死路由器计时器（它控制在决定临近路由器失效时应该等待多少时间）需要延迟40到120秒。
