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 switching fabric, NBMA do not support multicast or broadcast traffic. Some common examples of nonbroadcast network media include [[ATM]] (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), [[Frame Relay]], and [[X.25]].
