FDDI is better than Ethernet for the following reasons:

1. FDDI has built in redundancy features because of the dual ring topology.
2. FDDI has greater distance limitations - 2 KM for stations on the ring
   vs. 300 Meters for Ethernet.
3. FDDI provides thruput of 100 Mbps vs. 10 Mbps for Ethernet.
