Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 9314 specifies the Single-mode fibre Physical Layer Medium Dependent (SMF-PMD) requirements for the Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).

FDDI provides a high bandwidth (100 megabits per second) general purpose interconnection among computers and peripheral equipment using a fibre optic waveguide as the transmission medium. The FDDI may be configured to support a sustained transfer rate of approximately 80 megabits (10 megabytes) per second. The FDDI may not meet the response time requirements of all unbuffered high speed devices. The FDDI establishes the connection among many stations distributed over distances of several kilometers in extent. Default values for FDDI were calculated on the basis of 1000 physical connections and a total fibre path length of 200 kilometers (see the MAC Standard – ISO/IEC 9314-2 or ISO/IEC 9314-8).

Project need:

To review the standard for its 5-year review period
