Fiber Distributed Data Interface Presentation

FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is a 100 Mbps token-passing dual-ring LAN standard developed before Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. It uses fiber optic cable and a dual-ring architecture with traffic flowing in opposite directions on each ring for redundancy. FDDI supports thousands of users over distances up to 200km and uses token passing for media access with real-time data sent first under each token.

FDDI

Fiber Distributed Data Interface


By Ya’kob, Aidid & Fikri
Introduction
The best before Fast Ethernet & Gigabit
Ethernet
Product of American National Standards
Institute
Specifies a 100mbps token-passing, dual-
ring LAN using fiber optic cable.
Used as high-speed backbone technology
before this.
CDDI is another slower version.
Trafficon this dual ring architecture flows
opposite direction
◦ One is primary & one is secondary
◦ Uses primary ring during normal operation & the secondary is
idle. Secondary is ready for backup.
◦ Purpose : provide superior reliability and robustness
 FDDI is a standard for data transmission in a LAN that
can extend in range up to 200km.
 FDDI protocol is based on the token ring protocol
 Supports thousands
of users.
 Fiber optic medium

Dual-attach FDDI Board


Access Method : Token Passing
A Station may send as many frames as it can
within its task access period, with the proviso that
real-time data be sent 1st
Two type of data frames :
◦ 1. Synchronous (S-frames) : information is real times
◦ 2. Asynchronus (A-frames) : information that is not
real-times
Each station that captures the token is required to
send S-frames first.
Any remaining time may the be used to send A-
frames.
Adressing
FDDI uses a six-byte address, which is imprinted
on the NIC card similar to Ethernet addresses.

Data Rate
FDDI supports data rates up to 100mbps
Implementation: Dual Ring
