21、m example Annex iv Foreword (This foreword is not part of American National Standard X3.231-1994.) The Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is intended for use in a high- performance general-purpose multi-node network and is designed for effi- cient operation with a peak data rate of 100 Mbit/s.

22、It uses a Token Ring architecture with optical fibre as the transmission medium. FDDI provides for hundreds of nodes operating over an extent of tens of kilometers. The Physical Layer Protocol (PHY) specifies the upper sublayer of the Physical Layer for the FDDI. As such, it presents the specificati

23、ons and services provided for conforming FDDI attachment devices. PHY specifies the data encode/decode, framing, and clocking requirements. PHY also specifies the elasticity buffer, smoothing, and repeat filter functions. When the set of basic FDDI standards is completed it will also include the fol

24、lowing standards: a) A Media Access Control (MAC), which specifies the lower sublayer of the Data Link Layer for FDDI, including the access to the medium, addressing, data checking, and data framing; b) A Physical Layer Media Dependent (PMD), which specifies the lower sublayer of the Physical Layer

25、for FDDI, including the power levels and characteristics of the optical transmitter and receiver, interface optical signal requirements including jitter, the connector receptacle footprint, the requirements of conforming FDDI optical fibre cable plants, and the permissible bit error rates; c) A Stat

26、ion Management (SMT), which specifies the local portion of the system management application process for FDDI, including the control required for proper operation of a node in an FDDI ring. SMT provides services such as connection management, station insertion and removal, station initialization, co

27、nfiguration management, fault isolation and recov- ery, communications protocol for external authority, scheduling policies, and collection of statistics. As of this writing, American National Standards for PHY (ANSI X3.148- 1988), MAC (ANSI X3.139-1987(R1992), and PMD (ANSI X3.166-1990) have been a

28、pproved and published, whereas the standard for SMT (ANSI X3.229-1994) is in production. In addition, FDDI standards are being pro- cessed as International Standards as parts of ISO/IEC 9314 by standards committee ISO/IEC JTCl/SC 25. International Standards for PHY, MAC, and PMD (IS0 9314-1:1989, 93

29、14-2:1989, and ISO/IEC 9314-3:1990, respectively) have been published as parts of ISO/IEC 9314 while a stan- dard for SMT is now in the approval process. Two extensions to the basic FDDI have been approved as American National Standards, The first (ANSI X3.186-1992), for Hybrid Ring Control (HRC), c

30、ommonly known as FDDI-II, extends the capability of FDDI to handle isochronous data streams at a multiplicity of data rates. The sec- ond (ANSI X3.184-1993), for a single mode optical fibre version of PMD (SMF-PMD), permits optical links of up to 60 km. Parts of ISO/IEC 9314 for both are in the appr

31、oval process. Other work currently in process, addressing alternate PMDs, is aimed at providing low-cost attachments for use in concentrator-to-workstation envi- ronments and for direct attachment to SONET links. V This American National Standard for PHY-2 is an enhancement to the original FDDI stan

32、dards on PHY (ANSI X3.148-1988 and IS0 9314-1). This standard will be referred to as PHY-2 when it is necessary to distinguish it from ANSI X3.148-1988. Changes from ANSI X3.148-1988 include those identified in footnotes to ANSI X3.148-1988 as areas that the standards committee intend- ed to change

33、as well as changes that were required for extensions to FDDI, such as FDDI-II. PHY-2 also includes editorial corrections and clarifications. A similar enhancement project, called MAC-2, has been designated as ANSI X3.239-1994, and is currently in production. Work leading toward MAC-2 and PHY-2 was i

34、nitiated by Task Group X3T9.5 in late 1988. Project proposals for these were submitted in 1988 and 1989, respectively. MAC was approved in November 1988 as Project 684-D and PHY was approved in March 1990 as Project 761-D. These original projects were worded as replacements of the existing standards

35、 but the project numbers were inadvertently assigned as new coexisting standards. In 1990 the project proposals were revised to specify new coex- isting standards (leaving the current MAC and PHY as active standards). The revised project proposals were approved in March 1991 with the same project nu

36、mbers retained. This work on PHY-2 progressed and an X3T9 technical letter ballot on it closed in December 1990. A number of comments were submitted. These were subsequently resolved and forwarded to Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X3 for further processing as an American National Standard and

37、was approved by the June 1991 X3T9 Standards Committee meeting. Editing of the document to incorporate the required changes was completed in mid-1992. The subsequent X3 public review of PHY-2 result- ed in no comments. Following X3 public review, editorial comments sub- mitted by the IS0 editor were

38、 incorporated. The text and format of this document is based on International Standard IS0 9314-1. Furthermore, this standard is identical to the corresponding Draft International Standard for PHY-2 (DIS 9314-7). As a consequence, certain conventions, references, spelling, and units commonly used in

39、 International Standards have been used in this FDDI standard. These may be different than those normally used in American National Standards, but careful attention to the definitions conventions should avoid difficulty in understanding or use. This standard contains one annex. Annex A is informativ

40、e and is not part of this standard. Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, or defect reports are welcome. They should be sent to the Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association, 1250 Eye St., NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005. This standard was processed

41、 and approved for submittal to ANSI by Accredited Standards Committee on Information Processing Systems, X3. Committee approval of this standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, the X3 committee had the following mem

43、n of the Institute for Certification of Computer Professionals (AICCP) . Kenneth Zemrowski AT however, the FDDI protocols can support much larger networks by increasing these parameter values. As shown in figure 1, FDDI consists of: a) A Physical Layer (PL), which is divided into two sublayers: 1) A

44、 Physical Medium Dependent (PMD), which provides the digital baseband point-to-point communication between nodes in the FDDI network. The PMD provides all services necessary to transport a suitably coded digital bit stream from node to node. The PMD defines and characterizes the fibre-optic drivers

45、and receivers, medium-dependent code requirements, cables, connectors, power budgets, optical bypass provisions, and physical-hardware-related char- acteristics. It specifies the point of interconnectability for conforming FDDI attachments. The initial PMD standard defines attachment to multi-mode f

46、ibre. Alternative PMD sublayer standards are being developed for attachment to other transmission media and for mapping to Synchronous Optical Network (SON ET), 1 ANSI X3.231-1994 2) A Physical Layer Protocol (PHY), which provides connection between the PMD and the Data Link Layer. PHY establishes c

47、lock synchronization with the upstream code- bit data stream and decodes this incoming code-bit stream into an equivalent symbol stream for use by the higher layers. PHY provides encoding and decoding between data and control indicator symbols and code bits, medium conditioning and initializing, the

48、 synchronization of incoming and outgoing code-bit clocks, and the delineation of octet boundaries as required for the transmission of information to or from higher layers. Information to be transmitted on the medium is encoded by the PHY using a group transmission code. The definition of PHY is con

49、tained in this standard. b) A Data Link Layer (DLL), which is divided into two or more sublayers: An optional Hybrid Ring Control (HRC), which provides multiplexing of packet and circuit switched data on the shared FDDI medium. HRC comprises two internal components, a Hybrid Multiplexer (H-MUX) and an Isochronous MAC (I-MAC). H- MUX maintains a synchronous 125 ps cycle structure and multiplexes the packet and circuit switched data streams, and I-MAC provides access to circuit switched channels, A Media Access Control (MAC), which provides fair and deterministic access to the medium, addr
