I am surprised, (well, maybe not), that you aren't concerned about the excessive overhead present in FDDI networks...
FDDI is not a WAN technology. Losing 20% of bandwidth of a 10 ft piece of fiber is one thing. Losing 20% of bandwidth of a $3M/yr circuit is quite different. ATM as a LAN is probably ok, if it can compete with Gb Ethernet price/performance-wise. --vadim
