WAN technology for wiring and access control. FDDI offers operating speeds of 100 megabits per second and is a good choice for a backbone network solution.
A 100Mbps fiber optic cabling standard developed by ANSI. FDDI utilizes a dual counter rotating ring topology for network redundancy.
An ANSI/ISO standard for transmitting data on optical fiber cables at a rate of 100,000,000 bits-per-second (10 times as fast as 10 MHz Ethernet, about twice as fast as T-3). See also Bandwidth, Ethernet, T-1, T-3.
A high-speed (100Mb/s) LAN standard (also known as 100BaseT). The underlying medium is fiber optics, and the topology is a dual-attached, counter-rotating token ring. See also: Local Area Network, Token ring.
A 100 Mbps token ring LAN.
A standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for a 100 Mb per second local area network architecture. The underlying medium is often optical fiber and the topology is a dual-attached, counter-rotating token ring.
International network topology standard specifying a 100-Megabit per second (MBPS) token-passing network using fiber-optic cable.
An American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for 100-megabit-per-second LAN using optical fiber cables. An FDDI local area network (LAN) can be up to 100 km (62 miles) and can include up to 500 system units. There can be up to 2 km (1.24 miles) between system units and concentrators.
A type of network media designed to be used with fiber-optic cabling. See also LocalTalk; Token Ring.
A high bandwidth networking scheme that uses fiber optic cable. The topology relies on two rings for redundant 100Mbps transmissions. FDDI uses a token passing access method similar to token ring which results in a more deterministic performance than the contention-based Ethernet. FDDI-2 is a second generation of FDDI networks that support Isochronous channels that may enable voice and video over these networks.
A networking technology that uses a dual ring topology often with dual networking equipment (concentrators, etc.). FDDI facilitates redundancy and protection of the network. If a device fails, the primary and secondary rings enter a "wrap" state to form a logical connection and thus maintain the logical ring in the event of a link failure. FDDI is capable of data rates of 100 Mbps over fiber optic cable (SMF and MMF). FDDI LAN standards were developed by subcommittee X3T9.5 of ANSI.
A network protocol that is used primarily to interconnect two or more local area networks, often over large distances.
A high-speed networking standard ( RFC 1285 and RFC 1512) whose underlying medium is fiber optics. The topology is dual-attached, counter-rotating Token Ring.
A standard for high-speed fiber-optic LANs.
This is a fiber optic interface that allows data to travel extreme distances (many miles/kilometers) without signal loss. It is far superior to copper...
A standard for a 100 Mbit/s fiber optic local area network.
An ANSI standard for high-speed (100 Mbps), fiber-optic local area networks. FDDI specifications are particularly suited to networks that must transmit enormous amounts of data and can be used as a bridge between networks.
a standard for local area networks using optical fiber and a 100-Mbit/s data rate. A token is passed among the stations to control access to send on the network. Networks can be arranged in topologies such as stars, trees, and rings. Independent counter-rotating rings allow the network to continue to function in the event that a station or link fails.
LAN backbone protocol, requiring its own NIC cards / software/ fiber optic cabling for configuration. Maximum throughput of a FDDI is 100 Mbps; and twice as expensive as Ethernet or Token Ring architecture. Maximum ring sie is 62 miles, with repeaters every 1.25 miles.
FDDI is another type of cable/signal specification. It is primarily used at UC Berkeley as a high speed backbone network to connect the 350 campus ethernet LANs together.
A high-performance fiber optic network based on token ring media access control protocol.
The high-speed (100 mb/s) networking standard based on fiber optics, established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI); uses 1300 nanometer light wavelength. FDDI networks are limited to approximately 200 km in length, with repeaters every 2 km or less.
(FDDI) An optical fiber-based token-passing ring LAN technology with dual counter-rotating rings. Each ring carries data at a rate of 100 Mbps using a 125MHz transmission frequency. It has been standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). An FDDI network has two modes of attachment: a device may be a Single Attach Station attached to one ring, or a Dual Attach Station, attached to both rings. Typical applications of FDDI are in the area of high-speed LAN backbones.
A standard for transmitting data on optical fiber cables at a rate of around 100,000,000 bits-per-second.
An ANSI-defined standard specifying a 100Mbps token-passing network using fiber-optic cable. Uses a dual-ring architecture to provide redundancy.
An American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for a local area network (LAN) using optical fiber cables. An FDDI LAN can be up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) and can include up to 500 system units. There can be up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) between system units and concentrators.
A network based on the use of optical fiber to transmit data at a rate of 100Mbps.
A high-speed (100Mb/s) LAN standard. The underlying medium isfiber optics, and the topology is a dual-attached, counter-rotating token ring. See also: Local Area Network, token ring.[Source: RFC1208] FIELD SEARCHING
Fiber-Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) provides a standard for data transmission in a local area network that can extend in range up to 200 kilometers (124 miles). The FDDI protocol uses as its basis the token ring protocol. In addition to covering large geographical areas, FDDI local area networks can support thousands of users.
