Abstract :
The fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) is a 100-Mb/s local area network (LAN) that uses optical fiber as the medium. The FDDI protocol is based on a token ring access method. FDDI is being developed as an American National Standard (ANS) in Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X3T9. FDDI is also being developed as an International Standard (IS) in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 25. This paper is intended to provide an introduction to FDDI and the development of the FDDI standards
