The Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is intended for use in a high- performance general-purpose multi-station network and is designed for effi- cient operation w

26、ith a peak data rate of 100 Mbit/s. It uses a Token Ring architecture with optical fibre as the transmission medium. FDDI provides for hundreds of stations operating over an extent of tens of kilometers. The Media Access Control (MAC) specifies the lower sublayer of the Data Link Layer for the FDDI.

27、 As such, it presents the specifications and ser- vices provided for conforming FDDI attachment devices. MAC specifies the access to the medium, including addressing, data checking, and data framing. MAC also specifies the receiver and transmitter state machines. When the set of basic FDDI standards

28、 is completed, it will also include the following standards: a) A Physical Layer Protocol (PHY), which specifies the upper sublay- er of the Physical Layer for the FDDI, including the data encode/decode, framing and clocking, as well as the elasticity buffer, smoothing, and repeat filter functions;

29、b) A Physical Layer Media Dependent (PMD), which specifies the lower sublayer of the Physical Layer 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 requir

30、ements of conforming FDDI optical fibre cable plants, and the permissible bit error rates, c) A Station Management (SMT), which specifies the local portion of the system management application process for FDDI, including the control required for proper operation of a station in an FDDI ring. SMT pro

31、vides services such as connection management, station insertion and removal, station initialization, configuration manage- ment, fault isolation and recovery, communications protocol for exter- nal authority, scheduling policies, and collection of statistics. As of this writing, American National St

32、andards for PHY (ANSI X3.148- 1988), MAC (ANSI X3.139-1987(Rl992), and PMD (ANSI X3.166-1990) have been approved 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 by standards committee ISO/IE

33、C JTCl/SC 25. International Standards for PHY, MAC, and PMD (IS0 9314- 1 :1989, 9314-2:1989, and ISO/IEC 9314-3.1990, respectively) have been published, and a standard for SMT is now in the approval process. Two extensions to the basic FDDI have been approved as American National Standards and are i

34、n print. The first (ANSI X3.186-1992), for Hybrid Ring Control (HRC), commonly known as FDDI-II, extends the capa- bility of FDDI to handle isochronous data streams at a multiplicity of data rates. The second (ANSI X3.184-1992), for a single mode optical fibre ver- sion of PMD (SMF-PMD), permits opt

35、ical links of up to 60 km. Both are also being processed as International Standards by ISO/IEC JTCl/SC 25. Other work currently in process, addressing alternate PMDs, is aimed at pro- viding low-cost attachments for use in concentrator-to-workstation environ- ments. This work includes a Low-Cost Fib

36、er PMD (LCF-PMD) and a (copper) Twisted Pair PMD (TP-PMD), which are both in the approval process. iv This American National Standard for MAC-Z is an enhancement to the orig- inal FDDI standards on MAC (ANSI X3.139-1987 and IS0 9314-2). This standard will be referred to as MAC-2 when it is necessary

37、 to distinguish it from ANSI X3.139-1987. Changes from ANSI X3.139-1987 include those identified in footnotes to ANSI X3.139-1987 as areas that the standards committee intended to change as well as changes that were required for extensions to FDDI, such as FDDI-II and MAC bridging. A similar enhance

38、ment project, called PHY-2, has been designated as ANSI X3.231 -1994, and is currently in print. Work leading toward MAC-2 and PHY-2 was initiated by Task Group X3T9.5 in late 1988. Project proposals for these were submitted in 1988 and 1989, respectively. MAC-2 was approved in November 1988 as Proj

39、ect 684-D and PHY-2 was approved in March 1990 as Project 761-D. These original projects were worded as replacements of the existing standards but the project numbers were inadvertently assigned as new coexisting standards. In 1990, the project proposals were revised to specify new coexisting standa

40、rds (leaving the current MAC and PHY as active stan- dards). The revised project proposals were approved in March 1991 with the same project numbers retained. This work on MAC-2 progressed and an X3T9.5 technical letter ballot on Rev. 4.0 of MAC-2 closed December 1990. Many comments were submit- ted

41、, requiring a number of meetings to resolve all of them. Resolution was completed by August 1992 and an X3T9 technical letter ballot was issued in October 1992. This letter ballot resulted in only minor changes to MAC-2 and the December 1992 meeting of X3T9 approved forwarding MAC-2, Rev. 5.0, to Ac

42、credited Standards Committee (ASC) X3 for further pro- cessing as an American National Standard. The 4-month public review of MAC-2 was completed in July 1993 with no comments submitted. The text and format of this revision of MAC is based upon International Standard IS0 9314-2. As a consequence, ce

43、rtain conventions, references, spelling, and units commonly used in 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 defini- tions and conventions should avoid difficulty in unde

44、rstanding or use. This standard has four annexes, all of which are informative and are not part of the standard. Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, or defect reports are welcome. They should be sent to the X3 Secretariat, Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturer

45、s Association, 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005. This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Accredited Standards Committee on Information Processing Systems, X3. Committee approval of this standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members v

46、oted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, the X3 Committee had the following members: James D. Converse, Chair Donald C. Loughry, Vice-Chair Joanne Flanagan, Secretary Organization Represented Name of Representative American Nuclear Society . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Karen Higginbottom AT however, the FDDI protocols can support much larger networks by increasing these parameter values. As shown

48、in figure 1, FDDI consists of a) A Physical Layer (PL), which is divided into two sublayers: 1) A Physical Medium Dependent (PMD), which provides the digital baseband point-to- point communication between nodes in the FDDI network. The PMD provides all ser- vices necessary to transport a suitably co

49、ded digital bit stream from node to node. The PMD defines and characterizes the fibre-optic drivers and receivers, medium- dependent code requirements, cables, connectors, power budgets, optical bypass provisions, and physical-hardware-related characteristics. It specifies the point of interconnectability for conforming FDDI attachments. The initial PMD standard, ISO/IEC 9314-3, defines attachment to multi-mode fibre. Additional PMD sublayer standards are being developed for attachment to single mode fibre and SONET. _. _ _-. ._ _-.- -:.-i-d.T;l;.-.- L-=m-.Lk
