This part of ISO/IEC 9314 specifies the Station Management (SMT) 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 optical fibre as the transmission medium in a ring configuration. FDDI can be configured to support a sustained transfer rate of approximately 80 megabits (10 megabytes) per second. The use of dual attachment stations with dual MACs allows these rates to be doubled under the circumstance of a fault-free FDDI ring.
FDDI establishes the connection among many stations (nodes) distributed over distances of several kilometres in extent. Default values for FDDI were calculated on the basis of 1 000 physical connections and a total fibre path length of 200 km.
The FDDI consists of
The definition of SMT as contained herein includes the set of services that it provides for, and receives from, the other entities that are contained within a node. Within SMT resides both knowledge of the uniqueness of this node and the current network structure to the extent that this node's function is affected.
The set of International Standards for FDDI, ISO/IEC 9314, specifies the interfaces, functions and operations necessary to insure interoperability between conforming FDDI implementations. This part of ISO/IEC 9314 is a functional description. Conforming implementations may employ any design technique which does not violate interoperability.
