F Glossary

FC

Feedback Control: Feedback controls are defined as the set of actions taken by the network and by the end-systems to regulate the traffic submitted on ATM connections according to the state of network elements.

FCC

Federal Communications Commission: The federal organization in Washington D.C. set up by the Communications Act of 1934.

FCS

Frame Check Sequence: Any mathematical formula which derives a numeric value based on the bit pattern of a transmitted block of information and uses that value at the receiving end to determine the existence of any transmission errors.

FDDI

Fiber Distributed Data Interface: A 100 Mbps Local Area Network standard that was developed by ANSI that is designed to work on fiber-optic cables, using techniques similar to token-ring.

FDDI-PMD

FDDI Physical Medium Dependant: This sublayer defines the parameters at the lowest level, such as speed of bits on the media.The half of BISDN Layer 1.

FEBE

Far End Block Error: A maintenance signal transmitted in the PHY overhead that a bit error(s) has been detected at the PHY layer at the far end of the link. This is used to monitor bit error performance of the link.

FEC
