The speed (>1 Gigahertz) and bandwidth of these links >could possibly allow massive VR communication environments. > FDDI is a 100 to 125 megabit per second link, i.e., it's not quite as fast as a typical 32 bit computer bus. ISDN is hierarchical; I don't believe the top level is 1 giga-bit per second yet, though SONNET may be so envisioned. Arnold Frisch Tektronix Laboratories
