MAN ( metropolitan area network ) is a network with a size
between a LAN and a WAN.
It is designed for customers who need a high speed
connectivity usually to the internet.
MAN has a range of over 50km.
It can transmit data at the rate up to 1000 Mbps.
Best way to interconnect 2 LAN’s.
Major technologies of the MAN include
1. FDDI
2. SMDS
3. DQDB
4. WiMax
5. ATM
FDDI ( Fibre distribution Data
Interface)
Based on the token ring protocol, uses fibre optical link and contains two
tokens.
Unlike the IEEE 802.5 token ring, each host holds the token for a
predetermined time. FDDI emits a token immediately following the frame.
Each host can transmit as many frames it produce during the time it holds
the token.
Support many frames on the ring at the same time; hence support higher
data traffic.
The primary ring offers up to 100Mbps capacity.
The other for backup incase the primary token fails. If backup is not
needed, second ring transmit and hence increase rate to 200Mbps.
Transmit at 100Mbps over 100km and can extend to 200Mbps up to
200km.
Used to interconnect within a campus computers.
Can operate over multimode or simple mode optical fibre
system. (distance > 100m).
Multimode fibre uses LED as the light generating device.
Single mode fibre generally uses lasers.
Twisted pair cable can be used for length < 100m.
It supports up to 1000 nodes.
