About FDDI
Networks
FDDI networks have important differences from other types of LANs. FDDI
networks can provide a network backbone between buildings on a campus
or within a multilevel high-rise building. An FDDI network can:
■
Meet the networking needs of today’s high-performance workstations that
produce large quantities of data.
■
Offer the speed, distance, and capacity required for the powerful
workstations, applications, and super servers of the today.
■
Handle the significant demands of client/server computing.
