Topic: FDDI


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  FDDI
FDDI is normally used as a backbone to link other networks.
FDDI token passing allows multiple frames to circulate around the ring at the same time.
The second ring in a FDDI network is a method of adjusting when there are breaks in the cable.

 FDDI
FDDI will operate best with nonproprietary, structured cabling system that supports multivendor environments and a variety of communication applications (voice, 802.3/Ethernet, 802.5/Token ring).
One cost-effective way to approach cabling for FDDI is to implement a staged, hybrid solution, with fiber as the backbone and copper for the local loop from the FDDI concentrators to the desk top.
An FDDI network must be manageable within the context of the entire enterprise network.

 RFC 1390 (rfc1390) - Transmission of IP and ARP over FDDI Networks
As FDDI addresses are normally expressed with the Group bit in the high order bit position, the addresses must be bit-reversed within each octet.
When bit-reversed for transmission in the destination MAC address field of an FDDI frame (native order), it becomes: 80-00-7A-FE-00-40 that is, with the multicast (group) bit as the high order bit of the first octet, that being the first bit transmitted on the medium.
Datagrams on FDDI networks may be longer than the general Internet default maximum packet size of 576 octets.

 Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
FDDI is frequently used as high-speed backbone technology because of its support for high bandwidth and greater distances than copper.
FDDI is similar to IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and IEEE 802.5 Token Ring in its relationship with the OSI model.

FDDI networks are typically used as backbones technology because of its support for high bandwidth and great distance.
FDDI is not actually a single specification, but it is a collection of four separate specifications, each with a specific function.

 Review: FDDI: A High Speed Network
The simple truth is that FDDI not only remains relevant, but it is providing high speed networking solutions in scenarios where current generation ATM switching technology has not yet lived up to expectations.
FDDI is also used as a campus backbone solution and as an upgrade LAN technology for NOS servers in enterprise nets.
And FDDI is certain to play a role in the evolution to switched internetworking.

 RFC 2467 (rfc2467) - Transmission of IPv6 Packets over FDDI Networks
Maximum Transmission Unit FDDI permits a frame length of 4500 octets (9000 symbols), including at least 22 octets (44 symbols) of Data Link encapsulation when long-format addresses are used.
If a Router Advertisement received on an FDDI interface has an MTU option specifying an MTU larger than 4352, or larger than a manually configured value, that MTU option may be logged to system management but must be otherwise ignored.
Frame Format FDDI provides both synchronous and asynchronous transmission, with the latter class further subdivided by the use of restricted and unrestricted tokens.

 MRV Communications, Inc. - Upgrading FDDI to Gigabit Ethernet
FDDI allows ring-length to be up to 2km in distance, over multimode fiber-optic cabling, and is in common use in campus Enterprise backbones, especially in the government and financial industries.
Since typical FDDI networks have 2 fiber-optic pairs running from each device to the next in the ring, it is quite simple to use redundant Gigabit Ethernet connections.
When upgrading from FDDI to Gigabit Ethernet, one must be sure to check the fiber-optic distances and make decisions about what kind of topology and redundancy to implement.

FDDI uses two counter rotating rings in the same way as a Token Ring LAN to enhance reliability: one is referred to as the Primary Ring and the other as the Secondary Ring.
In general, the meaning and use of FDDI frame (or token) fields is the same as with the basic Token Ring, but because of the use of symbols rather than bits ther are some differences in the structure of each field.
Unlike the basic Token Ring, which is based on the use of priority and reservation bits, the priority operationof the FDDI ring uses a principle that is based on a parameter known as the Token Rotation Time (TRT).

FDDI is an industry standard for high-capacity (100 megabits-per-second) data transfer through lightwave systems.
FDDI is expected to speed the adoption of fiber-optic local area networks (LANs) by bringing speed, capacity and cost advantages over today's copper-based systems.
The FDDI standard defines electrical characteristics of fiber optic LANs but not the physical connections or pins by which components are mounted in systems and linked to the information- processing components of an FDDI system.

 FDDI, fibre ring, dual attached station
Because the secondary ring is there purely for backup, the design of FDDI should be such that 500 dual-attached nodes and 100km maximums are adhered to, no data travels on the secondary ring unless there is a failure in the primary ring.
FDDI stations have a one byte buffer between reception and transmission so what happens is each station receives the fragment, detects that there is no End Delimiter and forwards the fragment on minus the end byte of the fragment still in the buffer.
Other FDDI nodes refrain from transmitting whilst the switch has the token and the switch uses this time to strip spurious frames off the ring until it sees the void frames return, which it strips off as well.

In many ways, this comes as no surprise, because FDDI was originally developed for use in network backbones.
"FDDI came into this comparison with the strength of market share if not mind share: With its 100Mbps performance, it has been the only real choice for high-speed networks until recently.
Our FDDI solution won because of its consistent performance relative to Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Fast Ethernet in all categories.

FDDI users who have delayed migration to newer, faster technologies had best get moving because FDDI's days are now officially numbered.

Vendors have been encouraging FDDI customers to migrate to alternative technologies for a few years, but now the encouragement has been replaced by prodding and nudging.
