June-1995.
I have a customer that is claiming they can do FDDI over microwave
links.
Does anyone know:
1. Is this for real, are we really now able to do 100Mb/s FDDI over
microwave?
2. If we can do this isn't the microwave going to introduce errors?
Which I hope are detected by the nextstation on the ring as a CRC
error.
What error rate should we specify we require if we want to use this in
a vax cluster enviroment.
3. Any other thoughts?

Have you asked the customer to back up his claims? I have not seen an
FDDI over microwave implementation, but that's not to say that someone
somewhere hasn't built it.

Make sure he isn't talking about the microwave T3 MDF/BRS solution. We
are running split clusters over T3 microwave in Australia, with each
site running their nodes locally on FDDI. The customer (depending on
how technical he/she is) might think they are running FDDI over the
microwave since both ends are on FDDI.
