FIBER OPTIC NETWORKS DEFINITION (continued): … intention of creating a new Media Access Control layer for fiber optic rings. The IEEE working group is part of the IEEE's local area network ( LAN) and metropolitan area network ( MAN) Committee. Fiber optic rings are widely deployed as part of both MANs and wide area networks ( WANs); however, these topologies are dependent on protocols that aren't optimized or scalable to meet the demands of packet-switched networks. … Fiber Optic Networks definition sponsored by SearchNetworking.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
