Description of Working Group:

     The IP over FDDI Working Group is chartered to create Internet
     Standards for the use of the Internet Protocol and related
     protocols on the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
     medium.  This protocol will provide support for the wide
     variety of FDDI configurations (e.g., dual MAC stations) in
     such a way as to not constrain their application, while
     maintaining the architectural philosophy of the Internet
     protocol suite.  The group will maintain liason with other
     interested parties (e.g., ANSI ASC X3T9.5) to ensure technical
     alignment with other standards.  This group is specifically not
     chartered to provide solutions to mixed media bridging
     problems.

Goals and Milestones:

Done       Write a document specifying the use of IP on a single MAC
           FDDI station.

Aug 1990   Write a document specifying the use of IP on dual MAC FDDI
           stations.
