Networking specialist Broadcom has joined forces with its rivals to speed the development of Gigabit Ethernet technology. The vendors intend to fight the perception that expensive upgrades are necessary to allow Gigabit Ethernet to be run on...
Packet Engines and Swedish multimedia company Utfors are setting up a Metropolitan Area Network between Stockholm and Uppsala. The Gigabit Ethernet network will begin a series of extensive tests this morning.
And there you have it: Gigabit Ethernet allows networks to become one fat pipe running from the LAN to the MAN and - according to future take up by the market - to the home and WAN as well. Its latest report card shows it prospering in local area...
For a highly complex technology, Gigabit Ethernet across the MAN (metropolitan area network) poses two very straightforward questions: Metropolitan networks, in the new optical age, are going to be about throwing cheaper bandwidth at the problem...
In the metropolitan and wide area networks (MAN and WAN) MPLS has a bright future. The development of 10 Gigabit Ethernet is more impressive," he said. An MPLS network will run over whichever mix of networking technologies it faces, including...
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet standard will enable Ethernet to become the baseline technology that unifies LANs, metropolitan area networks and wide area networks. This new standard mainly differs from previous Ethernet standards, such as Fast Ethernet...
