Address Resolution for Dual MAC FDDI Networks

Posted on | | Leave a Comment on Address Resolution for Dual MAC FDDI Networks

Address Resolution for Dual MAC FDDI Networks In this document, an idea is submitted how IP and ARP can be used on inhomogeneous FDDI networks (FDDI networks with single MAC and dual MAC stations) by introducing a new protocol layer in the protocol suite of the dual MAC stations. Thus two dual MAC stations are […]

Fiber Distributed Data Interface ( FDDI )

Posted on | | Leave a Comment on Fiber Distributed Data Interface ( FDDI )

Fiber Distributed Data Interface   Introduction The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) specifies a 100-Mbps token-passing, dual-ring LAN using fiber-optic cable. FDDI is frequently used as high-speed backbone technology because of its support for high bandwidth and greater distances than copper. It should be noted that relatively recently, a related copper specification, called Copper Distributed […]
