The document presents information on Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), including:
- FDDI is a standard developed by ANSI for transmitting data at up to 200 Mbps using optical fibers in a dual ring configuration for backup.
- FDDI specifications include the Media Access Control (MAC), Physical Layer Protocol (PHY), Physical Layer Medium (PMD), and Station Management (SMT) layers.
- FDDI supports up to 1000 nodes within a range of 200 km, using fiber optic or copper cabling, and a token passing protocol to control medium access and ensure fault tolerance.
