Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)

Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a high-speed networking technology that uses optical fiber cables to connect computers and devices over long distances. It provides a reliable and efficient way to transmit data at speeds up to 100 Mbps, making it suitable for large networks like universities or corporate data centers. FDDI uses a ring topology, where devices are connected in a loop, ensuring data can travel in both directions and continue functioning even if one connection drops. It was designed for demanding enterprise network environments requiring high bandwidth and fault tolerance.
