Ethernet
Originally known as Alto Aloha Network, Ethernet is a widely used local-area network (LAN) protocol originally created by Xerox PARC in 1973 by Robert Metcalfe and others (U.S. Patent # 4,063,220). Being the first network to provide Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection (CSMA/CD), Ethernet is a fast and reliable network solution that is still widely used today. Below is a listing of different standards of Ethernet and additional information about each of them.
Token Ring
Type of network in which all computers on the network are connected in a circle fashion. The term token is used to describe a segment of information that is sent through that circle; when a computer on the network is able to decode that token, the information is received on that computer.
FDDI
Short for Fiber Distributed Data Interface, FDDI is a standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for transmitting data on optical fiber cables. FDDI supports transmission rates of 100 megabits per second on token-passing networks.
FDDI-2 or FDDI II is an extension of FDDI that contains additional specifications for real-time transmission of analog data in digitized form. This type of transmission could be used for digitized sound.
FFDT, an acronym of FDDI Full Duplex Transmission, is patented by Digital. FFDT is an extension of FDDI that is capable of supporting up to 200 Mbps, or twice the speed of the original FDDI.
I hope you get some information now

Well, The differences: Usually Ethernet and TokenRing use TP to transmit up to 100Mbps and FO is typically for Gbit Eth and 100Mbps Eth, FDDI use Fibber Optic and WiFi is wireless (electromagnetic wave). Ethernet is a probabilistic protocol, It can transmit to all nodes in its network at any time. TR uses the token to move the info between the nodes, It's a deterministic protocol. The typical transmission rate of Ethernet by UTP is 10/100 Mbps and TR is 4/16 Mbps. FDDI (Fibber Distributed Data Interface), it is a info media that transport the second layer protocol by Fibber. WiFi, today this technology is popular in hand-held devices. Regards.
