FDDI -Fiber Distributed Data Interface
(ANSI X3T12)
• Similar to token ring, except that
– FDDI runs on fiber-optic (token ring runs on twisted pair)
– FDDI is based on IEEE 802.4 token bus rather than IEEE 802.5
token ring standard
• In Token bus, token is explicitly transmitted to the “next” node
– Has two counter-rotating rings i.e., data flow is in opposite direction
to the other ring
• Rings are independent: primary and secondary
• During normal operation primary ring is used
• During node failure, the primary ring wraps around secondary
ring, creating a single ring and bypassing the failed node
– All nodes participate equally in maintaining the FDDI ring
– Data rate is : 100 Mbps
