Abstract

The evolving Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) for fiber optic networks, which greatly increases system capacity and flexibility, is discussed. The standard is described in terms of the ISO's Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. The initial FDDI standard defines four protocols: physical layer medium dependent, physical layer, media access control, and station management. Each of these is examined. Optical technology and the use of application-specific integrated circuits required by FDDI are discussed. Applications of FDDI and its future evolution are considered.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
