What is the advantage of FDDI over a basic Token Ring?

1 Answer

Answer :

Fiber distributed Data Interface. A high speed token ring networking technology designed to run over  optical fiber.  
FDDI is able to tolerate a single break in the cable or failure of one station due to dual ring.  
Hosts are connected in a ring. A token (bit pattern) circulates around the ring. A given node must possess  the token before it is allowed to transmit. 802.5 and FDDI are examples of token ring networks.
