FDDI-II is designed for networks that need to transport real-time video or traffic that cannot tolerate delays. Bandwidth is divided into up to 16 separate circuits that operate at from 6.144 Mbps each to a maximum 99.072 Mbps. Each of these channels can be subdivided further to produce a total of 96 64- Kbps circuits.
