NBMA does not emulate a broadcast network. This is the actual network
type used in frame-relay. NB means non-broadcast. If you want OSPF
(for example) to consider it a broadcast network you need to configure it as
so.
But...when the day's over and NBMA network is still and NBMA(non-broadcast
multi-access)
network.

Charles,
I'm currently struggling with the same... (I'm taking BSCN this Tuesday)
here's the def's from the Cisco press BSCN course book.
Point to Multipoint - treats the nonbroadcast network as a collection of
point to point links.
NBMA - Emulates a broadcast network, usually used in a fully meshed
environment, some configuration necessary
and for good measure an RFC: RFC 2328
Congrats on the written,
Tim
