The FDDI Token Ring Protocol controls communication over fiber optic rings with
transmission rates in the range of 100 megabits per second. It is intended to give
guaranteed response to time-critical messages by using a" timed token" protocol, in which
non-critical messages may be transmitted only if recent movement of the token among
stations has been sufficiently fast relative to a" target" token rotation time (TTRT).
