FDDI is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard that defines a dual Token Ring LAN operating at 100 Mbps over an optical fiber medium. It is used primarily for corporate and carrier backbones.Token Ring and FDDI share several characteristics including token passing and a ring architecture which were explored in the previous section on Token Ring.Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI) is the implementation of FDDI protocols over STP and UTP cabling. CDDI transmits over relatively short distances (about 100 meters), providing data rates of 100 Mbps using a dual-ring architecture to provide redundancy. While FDDI is fast, reliable, and handles a lot of data well, its major problem is the use of expensive fiber-optic cable.
