The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is an ANSI draft proposed standard for a 100 megabit per second token ring using fiber optics as the transmission medium. The FDDI design represents an extensive effort to incorporate reliability mechanisms as an integral part of the design. These mechanisms provide fault detection and isolation functions, monitoring functions, and configuration functions. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these reliability mechanisms, and to compare and contrast them with reliability mechanisms which have been incorporated in other local area network architectures.
