This section describes how to obtain more technical information about
FDDI.
Documents called Requests for Comments (RFCs) contain information
about FDDI. Some of the RFCs that pertain to the discussions in this
chapter are:
RFC 1130 — A Proposed Standard for the Transmission of IP
Datagrams over FDDI Networks
RFC 1390 — Transmission of IP and ARP over FDDI Networks
RFC 1512 — FDDI Management Information Base
You can obtain copies of RFCs from the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) Web site:
http://www.ietf.org
Standards organizations ensure interoperability, create reports, and
recommend solutions for communications technology. The most
important standards groups are:
International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
Electronic Industry Association (EIA)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
International Standards Organization (ISO)
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
