}FDDI (fiber distributed data interface) provides both the high bandwidth and low latency needed to match the increased capacity of future personal computers, at least for traditional LAN applications. The improved latency, however, is not low enough for a true multimedia LAN. What is needed is an access method that simplifies the interface to video and sound networks as well. FDDI-II is an extension of FDDI that provides this additional service. The authors discuss the FDDI-II architectural…Â

The results make clear that basic F DDI meets the requirements imposed by traditional local area network (LAN) application and that from a performance point of view FDDI-II is an excellent candidate for complex communications environments.
Real-time traffic in FDDI-II packet switching vs. circuit switching

It is shown that from a performance point of view FDDI-II is an excellent candidate for complex communications environments and changing to the enhanced protocol is a much better way to meet the demands than to push the old protocol to its limits.

FDDI-M: a scheme to double FDDI's ability of supporting synchronous traffic
- Computer ScienceProceedings of 1994 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems
- 1994
This paper shows how a few simple modifications to the FDDI's MAC protocol can remove this deficiency and double a ring's ability of supporting synchronous traffic and can also achieve a higher throughput for asynchronous traffic than the standard F DDI and theFDDI-II, thus making it useful even for those networks without heavy synchronous Traffic.

It is shown that technical innovation came from a variety of contributors and that adopting their ideas converted contributors into supporters, which improved the FDDI standards and became a family of standards with much broader appeal than was imagined initially.
