8 Gigs by 1998:

I am encountering more papers in the video engineering field lately. I posted some Phillips references on the Ancor thread within the past two weeks. Here is a very interesting article written by a video engineer:

tek.com

The relevant excerpt:

"With today's Fibre Channel network technology, data rates of approximately 70 MBps can be achieved in an arbitrated loop configuration. Assuming a compressed video
data rate between 3 and 6 MBps, a network connection can support a number of simultaneous transfers of video between network nodes. The practical number of nodes
depends upon the compressed video data rate chosen for the application and whether real time transfer between the nodes is expected. Given this requirement, the number
of devices to be supported will vary from 16-18 for 3 MBps video and 10-12 for 6 MBps video. Further development of Fibre Channel chips is expected to yield data rates of 4
GBps within the next year, and 8 GBps in 1998-99. "
