  • Abstract
    The author examines two broadly supported ring designs, IEEE 802.5 and the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), X3T9.5 currently emerging as local area network (LAN) standards, and explores the basis of this interest in ring topologies. The advantages that ring designs offer are presented, and on this basis a proliferation of rings is envisioned for the next decade.
