Abstract

The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for a 100-Mb/s fiber optic token-ring local area network (LAN). It provides synchronous and asynchronous service with a guaranteed bandwidth and response time. Frame transmission is controlled through a token rotation protocol, and stations are allowed to transmit for a predetermined amount of time only if they meet specific timing and priority requirements. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of an FDDI network in which synchronous digitized voice and video signals are transmitted on the same network with asynchronous data under varying network loads
