- FDDI-II
- A variation of the Fiber Distributed Data Interface standard. The FDDI-II version is designed for networks transmitting real-time full-motion video (or other information that cannot tolerate any delays) and requires that all nodes on the network use FDDI-II; otherwise, the network automatically reverts to FDDI.FDDI-II divides the bandwidth into 16 dedicated circuits operating at from 6.144Mbps to a maximum of 99.072Mbps. Each of these channels can be further subdivided for a total of 96 separate 64Kbps circuits.FDDI-II is not widely used because it is incompatible with FDDI and because Fast Ethernet and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) both provide better solutions.
