Fibernet II: A Fiber Optic Ethernet

This paper describes a fiber optic local area network which has been designed for use as an Ethernet and is currently operating at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. The fiber optic network, named Fibernet II, is an active-star configured network which is plug compatible with Ethernet at the transceiver cable interface. Collision detection is performed in the active star and collision presence is transmitted to the Fibernet transceivers. The performance and capabilities of Fibernet II are presented along with the motivation for the particular fiber optic implementation that was realized.
