Fiber Distributed Data Interface
DEFINITION: FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is a set of ANSI and ISO standards for data transmission on fiber optic lines in a local area network (LAN) that can extend in range up to 200 km (124 miles). The FDDI protocol is based on the token ring protocol. In addition to being large geographically, an FDDI local area network can support thousands of users. FDDI is frequently used on the backbone for

Interdomain Routing with BGP
sponsored by Global Knowledge
WHITE PAPER:
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a very complex routing protocol where the administrator can influence the route choice in more ways than with an interior gateway protocol. This white paper will provide you with a high level overview of interdomain routing with BGP.

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Overview
sponsored by Global Knowledge
WHITE PAPER:
MPLS stands for Multiprotocol Label Switching and is defined as “a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks that direct and carried data from one network node to the next, making it easy to create ‘virtual links’ between distant nodes.” Read on for a thorough overview of MPLS and learn how MPLS can benefit your organization.

OSPF Synchronization
sponsored by Global Knowledge
WHITE PAPER:
With IP there are two Link-State protocols in use OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System). Both work in much the same way, but OSPF is more commonly used. This white paper examines OSPF synchronization.

Securing Layer 2
sponsored by Global Knowledge
WHITE PAPER:
For many years network administrators have expected security breaches to come from outside an organization or at the upper layers of the OSI model. This paper will focus on securing layer 2 switching at the access layer through port security and preventing denial of service (DoS) attacks at layer 2.

FDDI DEFINITION (continued): … a wide area network (WAN). An FDDI network contains two token rings, one for possible backup in case the primary ring fails. The primary ring offers up to 100 Mbps capacity. If the secondary ring is not needed for backup, it can also carry data, extending capacity to 200 Mbps. The single ring can extend the maximum distance; a dual ring can extend 100 km (62 miles).FDDI is a product of American National Standards Committee X3-T9 and conforms to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model of functional layering. It can be used to interconnect LANs using other protocols. FDDI-II is a version … FDDI definition sponsored by SearchNetworking.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
