'''Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation''' (DBA) is a technique by which traffic bandwidth in a shared telecommunications medium can be allocated on demand and fairly between different users of that bandwidth. This is a form of [[bandwidth management]], and is essentially the same thing as [[statistical multiplexing]]. Where the sharing of a link adapts in some way to the instantaneous traffic demands of the nodes connected to the link.
