Overview of High-Speed LAN Technology for Home Use

Tags:
ethernet

Overview The storage capacity of optical disks demands higher speed of a network when users copy images of those disks from one host to another. In addition to speed of the network, other bottlenecks may exist in the path between two hosts. The speed of the network depends on a cabling as well as interfaces which implement networking standards. Lifetime of the cabling is from 10 to 15 years which is three times more than lifetime of network devices. The Ethernet evolution provides high-speed networking standards based on the IEEE High Speed Study Group (HSSG) objectives as well as the historical trend of the Ethernet technology adoption. The high-speed Ethernet provides a cost effective solution for the bandwidth demand of homes.

Technologies that time forgot: 100VGAnyLan

AnyLan was cool but it was too far removed from the 802.3 Ethernet standard to justify ripping out a lot of installed base and upgrading to Category 5 structured cabling. HP and its collaborators insisted that there was no 'holy war' and both...

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

An MPLS network will run over whichever mix of networking technologies it faces, including Ethernet, ATM and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). The development of 10 Gigabit Ethernet is more impressive," he said.

What's the fuss about... third-generation?

GPRS users are dependent on the same fundamental capacity as the voice users as they co-exist on the same physical network. Wireless LAN technology, currently based on the 802.11b networking standard, was initially designed as a wireless...

IP over everything?

There's a classic black and white photograph of internet pioneer Vinton Cerf taken when the network was just several rudimentary computers and some cabling strewn around a couple of US campuses. Ethernet services will offer enterprises the ability...

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?
