However, after a 10 year struggle, the standards debate is more or less over - although that doesn't solve that other age-old problem of timing. However, Gigabit Ethernet is not the only fast networking protocol touted as the answer to bandwidth...
With even higher bandwidth under development in the form of 10 Gigabit Ethernet the evolution of this standard has been surprisingly painless. And there you have it: Gigabit Ethernet allows networks to become one fat pipe running from the LAN to...
Ethernet is a standard LAN protocol these days, and has revolutionised computing. silicon.com has launched its latest Hot Topic (http://www.silicon.com/hsn ), pulling together a range of articles and video features about networking technologies...
The Ethernet camp already acknowledges some of these drawbacks and is working on two standards it hopes will assuage user fears. Namely, Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), which should solve the first problem and ITU x.86, which addresses the second.
The MEF's E-Line and E-LAN standards - currently being voted on - will allow service providers to adopt Ethernet, said Chen. Until now, metro networking has come at the cost of of a major step change from Ethernet to more expensive, less familiar...
NAS is all about a standalone storage device typically attached to an Ethernet-based LAN with its own IP address. That is the overriding finding of research commissioned by the Storage Networking Industry Association's European arm (SNIA-E), the...
