FDDI

It has been specified by X3T9.5

group of ANSI
Originally based on Token Ring IEEE
802.5 with data rate 4mbps
It is intended to use upto100 mbps
employing optical fiberTx Media.
FDDI
The facilities supported by FDDI:
100 mbps data transfer of dual ring fiber
Upto 100 KM of dual ring Fiber
Upto 500 N/W nodes
Upto 2 KM b/w The nodes
Timed Token passing protocol

Advantages of FDDI
FDDI is suitable for real time process control and
voice transmission application with high data
rate, min/Max packet size(Min 9 bytes, Max
4500 bytes)

Provides efficient large data file transfer such as
bit imaged graphics.
Architecture of FDDI
It is compatible with OSI layer and IEEE 802.5
Thye phy layer Dependent specifies the
required performance of the optical hardware
Like op. fiber, connectors, transmitter, Rx, and
by pass s/w.
Interfacing b/w PMD and data link layer is
provided by phy layer with fn such as
encoding clock syn and symbol alignment.

Architecture of FDDI
MAC layer provides the access
control for data layer.
The SMT controls the processes
with station including configuration,
fault tolerance, and link quality.


FDDI Topology
station are logically connected into a ring.
Two contrarotating ring are employed, each
of which is supporting a data rate 100 mbps.
The FDDI op. Fiber link are specified to use
InGaAsP LED sources emitting at a wave-
lengthy of 1300 nm to take advantage of zero
material point.
GIF:- 62.5/125 micrometer and 85/125
micrometer.
FDDI
Each of the specified fiber has a BW L
product better than 400 MHz-KM
Loss less than: 2 dB/ KM
Ge/InGaAs p-i-n Photo- detector are
used with Rx sensitivity -31 dBm.
BER of 10
-12
The power budget over 2 KM max span
is specified at 11 dB
FDDI
More recently A SMF with ILD source has
been defined for PMD

The FDDI has built-in recovery to enhance its
robustness.
The N/W operation is normally designated to
the primary ring
If the N/W is broken, then Tx is switched to the
secondary ring.

FDDI
The reconfiguration of the stn around the
cable break is controlled by by the station
management function.
Stn failure does not affect the N/W
operation due the provision of optical by-
pass within all the station.
