Abstract
The availability of cheap optical fibre and associated transceivers has encouraged the development of the next generation of computer networks. Most prominent among these is the fibre distributed-date interface (FDDI), which is expected to become a standard. The authors describe the principal advantages of the FDDI (namely its size and transmission rate) and outline the apparently bright future of FDDI networks and their applications
