Applications For FDDI
Raj Sundarrajan · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1987
The ANSI Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is intended as a local area network standard for high-speed data transfer between computers and computers/peripherals. Three major applications are foreseen for FDDI: (1) Backbone network to tie other lower speed lower speed LANs together, (2) Back-end network for processor to I/O interconnections, and (3) ISDN applications. The paper will discuss these applications and outline the advantages of FDDI for these high-speed applications.
