10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN PHY: Applications for Metro and Regional Networks

Tags:
fast ethernet

Overview Continued growth in demand and the need for rapid processing of bandwidth-intensive applications in data networks have had a tremendous impact on the Ethernet services in metro and regional networks. In today’s data-hungry technological environment, business applications require bigger Ethernet pipes to server farms and backup centers. This white paper explains the LAN and WAN variants of 10GigE interfaces and their importance for data networks. We then explore how WDM - Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology becomes the key solution to support 10 GigE transport applications across metro and regional networks.

Has Gigabit Ethernet come of age?

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. Now its developers at the IEEE intend to take Ethernet out...

The Bloor Perspective: Home wireless networks, teleworking and getting an EDGE

Even when using the wireless LAN it's rare to really make use of all the bandwidth. The WMA11B connects on one side to standard audio and video jacks or s-video connector, and the other via a wireless connection or standard wired Ethernet cable.

Crossing the Channel: What IP can do for storage

However, WDM is limited to metro areas and for some companies 200km is simply not far enough. Corporates will use a mix of technologies for their SANs, including both FCIP for daily remote back-up for disaster recovery purposes and FC over WDM for...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
