Fibre Distributed Data Interface
• 100Mbps– 1986 ANSI - X3T9.5 committee – Supports IEEE 802.5
• Access Methodology = Modified token-passing• Logical topology = sequential• Physical = Dual counter-rotating rings

Dual-Ring Topology• Primary ring
– Traffic– FDDI Reconfigures the network
• Redundancy– Transmission– Cable Failure– Ring Failure
• The total cable length of both rings combined must not exceed 200 km, and it cannot hold more than 1000 computers.
5
Topology• FDDI operates at 100 Mbps over a dual-ring topology
that supports 500 computers over a distance of up to 100 km
• More than one computer at a time can transmit• Capacities should be divided in half.
– FDDI network should be limited to 500 computers and 100 km of cable.

FDDI (continued)
A FDDI network
7
FDDI• Connects large and small minicomputers• Back-end networks• FDDI works with backbone networks to which other
low-capacity LANs can connect• LANs that require high data rates• File transfer, Video, CAD & CAM
8
FDDI in Star• FDDI computers can accommodate point-to-point
links to a hub.
9
Built-in reliability• High degree of reliability and security
– EMI– RFI
• Two Rings– Primary ring – data– Secondary ring – backup– Single Hub or connector
• 500 nodes at 2km apart• SAS – single attachment station• DAS – dual attachment stations

FDDI Uses Beaconing
34
14
Beaconing• With beaconing, the computer that detects a fault sends a
signal, called a "beacon," onto the network.
• The computer continues to send the beacon until it notices a beacon from its upstream neighbour, and then it stops sending.
15
Standards• Distances in FDDI LAN• Impractical to turn a free token to busy• Physically removes token and transmits an entire
Data Frame.• Numerous messages can be sent• Synchronous Frames
16
Modified Token Passing• Transmits as many frames as it can produce within a
predetermined.
• There can be several frames circulating on the ring at once.
• Higher throughput than a Token Ring network, which allows only one frame at a time to circulate.
17
Application of FDDI• Bandwidth drivers fall into two categories:• Network Architecture Trends• Network Application Trends• LANs = more and more users• FDDI networks form the backbone
18
Campus Backbone• Connecting LANs located throughout a series of
closely situated buildings.• Ring circumference can equal 200 km• Multiple FDDI LANs • 100 Mbps FDDI building backbone
– Connecting numerous 10-Mbps Ethernet– Servers connected via connectors

High-Bandwidth Workgroups• FDDI LANs connecting as few as 20 computers
– High-bandwidth communication– CAD/CAM Workstations
• Power Users– GUI

High-Bandwidth Subgroups• In some cases only 2 or 3 devices such as servers,
require high-bandwidth.• Increased demand
