FDDI Advantages:

~Supports real time allocation of network bandwidth.

~Supports a lot of different types of network traffic.

~Is fault-tolerant because it uses dual fiber cables. If one cable fails FDDI moves the data to the other dual cable.

FDDI Disadvantages:

~It's expensive

~There is always a chance of multiple ring failures and as the ring grows, that chance increases.

~It's not used frequently due to cost, companies prefer to use copper (CDDI) if they are taking the ring approach.

FDDI is a topology based on redundant fiber optic paths wherein the data travels in opposite directions. It is used to ensure that data can still be transfered if to connection to one "ring" is lost.
