| Popis: | FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is a 100 Mbit/sec local area network (LAN) based on a token ring protocol operating over an optical fiber medium. Though not a metropolitan area network (MAN), FDDI can operate over distances normally considered as the province of MANs. With the addition of FDDI-II capabilities, and the newly defined mapping for FDDI over SONET, FDDI now offers MAN functionality for large organizations needing to provide integrated services over a widely based high performance private network. This paper updates earlier efforts on this subject, giving an up-to-date overview of FDDI, FDDI-II and SONET mapping. At the end of the paper a brief look at the possible future for FDDI technology is given. |
