The Ethernet Alliance can see the light at the end of the standards tunnel for 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet, or IEEE 802.3ba, which are expected to be ratified in June 2010. But the work ...

IT managers who are getting started with — or even pushing the limits of — 10 Gigabit Ethernet in their LANs and datacenters won’t have to wait long for higher speed connectivity. Pre-standard 40 ...

The IEEE's 802.3 Higher Speed Study Group (HSSG) recently voted to set 100 Gbps as the next Ethernet speed, setting up a 10x increase in speed compared to the current top-speed standard for 10-Gigabit ...

In this post, we’ll dive into testing challenges for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet devices adhering to the 802.3ba standard. 802.3ba, an amendment to the 802.3 standard, is intended to address the need ...

Juniper Networks has announced what it says is the industry's first 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100 GbE) router interface card, which will be offered as part of Juniper's T1600 core router. The 100 GbE card ...

The 100 Gigabit Ethernet standard is expected to complete in 2010, and a research firm says it will take only two years for the technology to out-ship SONET OC-768. Freesky Research recently released ...

AT&T announced on Thursday that it successfully completed a live network environment field trial of 100-Gigabit backbone network technology. The trial is the latest step in AT&T's march toward ...

If you’ve been working with networks as long as I have, you probably remember the days when 10-Mbps Ethernet seemed fast. And when 100-Mbps "Fast" Ethernet debuted--Wow! Just when it seemed as if ...

It is hard to discuss 40 or 100 gigabit without someone asking about video applications. Yet it is even harder to find a planned 40/100 deployment being designed to carry video. In theory, it might ...

An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 gigabit per second. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE, GE) connects PCs and servers in local networks and is commonly employed along with a mix of 10/100 Mbps devices. For ...

As it embarks on what’s likely to be a long journey to its next big increase in speed, ethernet is in some ways a victim of its own success. Years ago, birthing a new generation of ethernet was ...
