Metro Ethernet Technologies on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch

Overview In more than 25 years, Ethernet technology has experienced several changes, evolving from a shared-media half-duplex 10 Mbps LAN technology to a full-duplex switched 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps LAN technology, as the demand for higher networking speeds has grown. Ethernet switches, too, have evolved with advanced capabilities, notably, advanced quality of service (QoS) and security, which previously were available only for other more expensive media.
