Fddi
The FDDI standard was developed in the late 1980s and expanded in 1994 as a successor to the old 10Mbit Ethernet. It has a long range and is often used as a central backbone in practice due to its particularly low failure rate. The FDDI network is based on synthetic fiber cables whereas most networks use CDDI (Copper Distributed Data Interface) cabling where the cables are copper based. One way to increase network throughput is to use backbone technologies that are significantly faster than Ethernet....
